Welcome to the Food Waste Composting Analysis System
This tool can evaluate proposed food waste composting systems around the Davidson County area in terms of costs of facilities, availability of food waste sources, and transportation of material.
To get started, click the map on the left to select one or more locations for new composting facilities. For each chosen site, you can specify details the of the system using options that appear to the right.
Basic site-specific options are located in the Scenario Input tab and include the food waste types and their associated participation rates, composting facility type, and the type of truck used to haul the food waste. Global parameters that are specific to the analysis as a whole can be adjusted by clicking the Settings button in the menu bar.
Once the system is configured as desired, clicking the Evaluate Sites button will run the analysis. Results in the form of reports can be viewed in the Analysis Output tab along with food waste supply locations on the associated output map. Clicking the New button in the menu bar will reset the tool to a fresh new scenario with default values.
