Problem
What is getting in the way
Residential service-day maps often preserve old boundaries while neighborhood growth shifts stop density and crew workload, driving up miles per stop and overtime.

Residential Routing
Turn stop lists, day codes, and territory boundaries into a practical residential reroute your crews can adopt.
- Route A
- Route B
- Route C
- Stops / route (spread)
- 212–318→ 260–271
- Boundary crossings
- 41→ 4
- Route-hrs variance
- 2.6h→ 0.4h
What we work with
Artifacts that make the problem visible.
Service-day maps
day codes and territory boundaries made visible
Density models
stop clustering vs drive-time waste
MPS / StPR baselines
route health you can track
Cutover scenarios
phased change plans before go-live
Problem · approach · outcome
From operating constraint to workable route plan.
Municipalities and private haulers balancing fixed service days, neighborhood growth, and recurring curbside collection workloads.
Approach
How we model it
We map stop lists and day codes, baseline miles per stop and stops per route, then model rebalanced territories and a phased cutover around service-day commitments.
Outcome
What your operation gets
Balanced collection days, tighter territory density, trackable route-health baselines, and room to absorb residential growth without automatically adding trucks.
Territory density · illustrative
- Route A
- Route B
- Route C
- Stops / route (spread)

- Boundary crossings

- Route-hrs variance
- 2.6h→ 0.4h
Residential reality
Collection days have to work as territories.
A balanced route respects the commitments crews inherit while making room for the neighborhoods still adding stops.
Typical residential constraints
- service days
- territory balance
- crew workload
- growth without new trucks

Before we model
Questions we ask first
- 01
Are stop lists complete and geocoded?
- 02
Which day codes are fixed or flexible?
- 03
Where are current service boundaries?
- 04
Which neighborhoods are adding stops fastest?
