Abstract :
Solid waste management system is a complex, dynamic and open system, which has different elements including waste disposal technologies, economics and society and their interactions. In order to study this complex system, an agent based model for solid waste management was developed. Agent based solid waste management and Agents in the system were designed in class diagram, collaboration diagram and sequence diagram by UML. The behavior of household separation, solid waste disposal effect and solid waste management cost and profit were simulated under different policy scenarios. The results show that the model described the dynamics between household waste disposal activities and solid waste management policies. Different scenario experiments show the model is feasible and effective for evaluating solid waste management policies.
