Abstract

Omaha Public Schools (OPS) currently uses a Two-Tier Bus Transportation System and is investigating whether switching to a Three-Tier Bus Transportation System would be cost effective by reducing the number of buses and bus drivers OPS uses. This project aims to develop an algorithm that would allow OPS to test whether a Three-Tier system is more cost effective. The Bus Routing Project is composed of two different software components: a geographical analyzer and a heuristic bus route generator.

Additional Information (Optional)

Poster presentation will be added to Digital Commons at a later date (ongoing project)
