OEC Overview

OEC (Ontario Engineering Competition) is a provincial wide competition against other universities featuring various engineering categories such as re-engineering, design, programming etc.

Problem statement

The problem was to find the optimal path that a plastic collecting vehicle can take while minimizing plastic lost and distance travelled while keeping a QoR metric as low

as possible.

Solution

Our solution was to pick up all the waste nodes first, find the best local sorting facility, best regional facility, then best regional recycling facility. Then have

our vehicle drive to those facilities in that order.
