Walking School Bus Planning
Walking School Bus (WSB) promotes Active School Travelling (AST) while reducing congestion and pollution around schools caused by parental chauffeuring. We introduce a framework to generate WSB walking networks from public data and perform multi-objective routing optimisation to support efficient route planning. Our approach ensures optimal routes that balance multiple criteria and meet the needs of both parents and children.
