The purpose of this project was to ascertain the current state of development of route optimization software and to determine whether there was one or more inexpensive software systems which interested municipalities could use to review their current collection routing for opportunities to improve efficiencies. Stantec Ltd. was contracted to complete the first two phases of the project. The first phase included conducting a scan of route optimization software providers to identify those providing simple, inexpensive routing systems. The second phase included contacting the identified vendors and their customers to determine the capabilities and efficacy of the available systems. CIF staff are working to determine if there is sufficient interest amongst municipalities to warrant further work in the subject area.
