Abstract

In the original language

The waste collection in the territory of urban agglomerations, as a part of city logistics approaches, has become one of the key topics due to growing demands for logistic operations in cities burdened by high traffic volumes, worsening the quality of lifeand the environment in cities. Congested traffic ails České Budějovice, especially during peak hours. Congestions should partially be avoided by the planned construction of new roads to divert transit traffic from the city centre. Despite these remedial measures, the current transport and logistic situation requires further improvement. The paper focuses on waste collection, which significantly affects the traffic flow in České Budějovice. Currently, the city uses costly CNG-propelled trucks, which releasea lot of harmful emissions. The paper aims to consider and evaluate new approaches to waste collection that could work in compliance with ecological principles and sustainable urban development of cities. This matter embraces waste collection trucks propelled by hydrogen, electricity, biogas and CNG. In other words, the decision needs to be made on whether it makes sense to invest in up-to-date and sustainable technologies to fuel waste collection trucksin a territory under investigation. To this end, multicriteria decision-making methods are applied, namely, Saaty and Fuller methods –to quantify the criteria weights,and the PROMETHEE and the ORESTE methods –to identifya compromise(ideal) variant. The findings encompass the decision-making process anda draft methodology concerningthe determination of rankoftheconsidered waste collection trucks based on relevant criteria set identifiedby the expert evaluation
