Solving school bus routing problem using hybrid genetic algorithm: A case study

Abstract

School bus routing involves transporting students from predefined locations to school using a fleet of buses with varying capacity. This paper describes a real-life problem of the school bus routing. The overall goal of this study is to develop a route plan for the school bus service so that it is able to serve the students in an efficient and economical manner with maximum utilization of the capacity of buses using hybrid genetic algorithm.
