Waste collection and street sweeping route guidance
Road navigation for waste collection and street cleaning: clear instructions for a quality service.
Arcoda’s solution supports the delivery of waste collection and street sweeping services by guiding drivers along their assigned routes. With navigation designed specifically for these services, drivers receive clear instructions, making service delivery more accurate, faster and less dependent on individual experience.
Who is it for?
Drivers, back-office and call centre staff, the control room and service managers.
Benefits
Greater operational efficiency
Guidance along the optimal route helps drivers carry out collections faster and more accurately, reducing errors, return visits and unnecessary mileage.
Improved technical service quality
Clear instructions and predefined routes help keep services on schedule, improve collection accuracy and increase punctuality, supporting adherence to the quality requirements of Italy’s TQRIF framework for municipal waste services.
Less operational stress for drivers
Clear routes, service progress information and off-route notifications reduce uncertainty, confusion and the need to ask for support during the service run.
Faster onboarding of new staff
Even drivers unfamiliar with the territory can quickly start work by following their assigned route on the tablet. The solution is also ideal for managing staff turnover and seasonal peaks in activity.
Lower costs
The solution guides drivers along the optimal route, reducing errors and unnecessary mileage. Shorter distances mean lower fuel consumption, less vehicle wear and lower maintenance costs, making collection services more financially sustainable.
In depth
Supporting drivers to improve service delivery and make operations more sustainable
In their daily work, drivers must follow complex routes, keep to precise sequences and handle a range of operational information that often depends on their own knowledge of the territory. When instructions are unclear, out of date or missing, uncertainty, the risk of errors and stress while driving increase. These difficulties are greater for staff unfamiliar with the area and also create more work for back-office staff, who must support drivers by piecing together the situation through phone calls, messages and manual checks. The result is poorer service, higher costs and greater operational stress.
Navigation designed specifically for waste collection and street cleaning
Arcoda’s solution provides road navigation designed specifically for waste collection and street sweeping routes. Drivers use a tablet installed in the cab to follow their assigned operational route. Unlike conventional navigation, the solution supports drivers in carrying out a service run, taking account of routes, sequences, operating notes, non-service travel, the side of the road on which collection is carried out, departures from the planned route and other operating requirements. Drivers receive information on both where to go and how to carry out the service correctly. The solution also shows service progress and how much remains to be done.
Using this system helps drivers work more independently, more accurately and with less stress. It reduces requests for clarification to the control room, cuts mileage and helps deliver a better service that is more sustainable both financially and environmentally.
The solution also helps new staff get up to speed more quickly: drivers unfamiliar with the territory can follow the prepared route, navigation instructions and service information on the device. This makes it easier to manage staff replacements, shift rotations and changes to crews, as well as peaks in activity requiring additional staff unfamiliar with the area.
