“…However, limited works have been done so far in addressing this for school transportation and child safety. A recent Europe funded project conducted in Sweden "SAFEWAYTOSCHOOL" provided a holistic and safety framework for children [1], [11], [18], [19], [38]. This project addresses most of the difficulties faced during school transportation through a door to door approach (between home and school).…”

Intelligent Safety Transport Framework for Schools: A Review of Route Planning and Tracking Systems

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract. This work presents a review of recent literature in intelligent school transportation frameworks, particularly focusing on route planning, real time vehicle and children tracking. The focus on route planning and tracking is to identify the hidden practical problems and threats present in school transportation, bearing in mind safety. Different methods and technologies used for route planning and vehicle as well as children tracking are reviewed. A discussion is provided on the current frameworks along with the challenges and future research direction.

“…Parents expect their children to go to school and return to home in safety [5] and ST can be an appropriate route for safe student transportation [6]. Nonetheless, ST carries different risks for students, increases their vulnerability [1], and creates heavy socioeconomic burden [7]. Therefore, ST drivers need to prioritize student safety and health [8].…”

Exploring the facilitators and barriers to high-risk behaviors among school transportation drivers: a qualitative study

et al. 2022

Background School transportation (ST) crashes are associated with serious adverse consequences, particularly for students in developing countries. High-risk behaviors (HRBs) of ST drivers are a major factor contributing to ST crashes. This study aimed at exploring the facilitators and barriers to HRBs among ST drivers. Methods This qualitative study was conducted in 2019–2020. Participants were ST drivers, students, parents, and school staff purposively selected from Tehran, Iran. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions and were concurrently analyzed through conventional content analysis. Findings Participants were fifteen ST drivers with a mean age of 45 ± 10.2 years and 24 students, parents, and school staff with a mean age of 28.62 ± 16.08 years. The facilitators and barriers to HRBs came into five main categories, namely previous experiences of HRBs, perceived gains and risks of HRBs, motivating and inhibiting feelings and emotions, positive and negative subjective norms, and perceived mastery in driving. Conclusion A wide range of facilitators and barriers can affect HRBs among ST drivers. Strategies for preventing HRBs among ST drivers should be multidimensional and individualized and should focus on strengthening the barriers and removing the facilitators to HRBs.

The school bus problem routing (SBRP) is an important practical problem studied in combinatorial optimization of operational research. It is formulated through a set of stops, buses, schools and garage, where from these sets, we seek to create optimized routes to reduce the operating cost of the service. This paper presents a solution to the SBRP, using the GRASP applied to a real problem. This meta-heuristic is divided into two stages: the construction of a viable solution and followed by a Local Search procedure. These two phases are repeated in each iteration. In the construction phase, a greedy and random function is used to construct an initial solution. It is also presented compared to the widely used heuristic and good results in the literature.
