SpeedRoute: Fast, efficient solutions for school bus routing problems

School bus planning problem (SBPP) has drawn much research attention due to the huge costs of school transportation. In the literature, the SBPP is usually decomposed into the routing and scheduling subproblems due to its complexity. Because of the nature of the decomposition, even if all the subproblems are solved to optimality, the final solution may not be as good as the solution from the integrated model. In this paper, we present a new...
