BOYER, R.A. – 1964
THIS PROJECT DEVELOPED A MANUAL TO BE USED BY TRANSPORTATION OFFICERS FOR COMPUTING SCHOOL BUS ROUTES. MATHEMATICAL TECHNIQUES WERE REVIEWED AND A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY MADE OF CRITERIA ELICITED FROM LITERATURE AND INTERVIEWS. QUESTIONNAIRES WERE MAILED TO SCHOOL AUTHORITIES TO RANK THE VARIOUS FACTORS INVOLVED. A COMPUTER PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED FOR…

BOYER, ROSCOE A. – 1961
A PROGRAM THAT WOULD DEVISE OPTIMAL ROUTES FOR SCHOOL BUSES WAS DEVELOPED. ONE OF THE TWO MODELS DEVELOPED FOR THIS STUDY, CALLED THE HEURISTIC MODEL, WAS A HAND PROCEDURE BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT, IN AN EFFICIENT SCHOOL BUS SYSTEM, STUDENT MILES SHOULD BE MINIMIZED RATHER THAN BUS MILES. THE OTHER MODEL WAS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH HIGH SPEED…
