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.
Highlights
School Transportation System (STS) is safety critical which involves school children who are the most vulnerable users of roads [1]
Children are seen as vulnerable users of the road and there is demand for safe school transportation organizations
This paper presented a review of major technologies and approaches used in school transportation, including route planning systems, vehicle – student monitoring and tracking systems
Summary
School Transportation System (STS) is safety critical which involves school children (students) who are the most vulnerable users of roads [1]. Major technologies involved in ISTS are school bus route planning systems, school vehicle-children tracking and monitoring systems. Parents spend more time on the streets and making phone calls while waiting for school buses due to the unpredictable nature of the traffic, during the winter months. For this very reason, vehicle-children tracking systems were made. Most of the published work so far on ISTS have focused on route planning systems and only limited work has been done to address the whole school transport system [18], [19]. A review of recent studies in intelligent safety school transportation systems with a focus on route planning and tracking is presented. A fresh perspective and functions for an ISTS framework are provided along with the challenges and further research direction
