Abstract

In order to increase the safety for children, with help of a higher degree of control and routine during school transport, an EU-project, SAFEWAY2SCHOOL1, started in 2010. This project aims to take the previous study, made in 2008 in Kristianstad, a step further and highlight and enhance the technological aspects of different subsystems in order to achieve a system even more useful. Within the project evaluation of a holistic concept will be done, one of them in the Swedish municipality Örnsköldsvik. In total five buses will be equipped with technical safety solutions. Communication between the system and children will be solved by children wearing a tag that transmit information to the bus unit, making it possible for the system and the driver to know if the child is on their way to the bus. The tag will also be connected to a bus stop unit, warning passing drivers. This system will handle, safe route planning, rerouting of routes, school bus position tracking and monitoring, safety enhancement applications for bus drivers, warning systems for surrounding vehicles and training schemes for school bus drivers. The evaluation will focus on usefulness, effectiveness, acceptance in a user perspective. In addition socio-economic analysis will be done.

申请安全交通工具往返学校的经验:迈向SAFEWAY2SCHOOL的一步

为了提高儿童的安全性，在学校交通的更高程度的控制和常规的帮助下，一个欧盟项目SAFEWAY2SCHOOL1于2010年启动。该项目旨在将2008年在克里斯蒂安斯塔德进行的先前研究进一步推进，突出和增强不同子系统的技术方面，以实现更有用的系统。在项目中，将对一个整体概念进行评估，其中一个是在瑞典直辖市Örnsköldsvik。总共有五辆公交车将配备技术安全解决方案。系统和儿童之间的通信将通过儿童佩戴的标签来解决，该标签将信息传输到公交车单元，使系统和司机能够知道孩子是否在去公交车的路上。该标签还将连接到公共汽车站，警告过往的司机。该系统将处理安全路线规划、路线改道、校车位置跟踪和监控、校车司机安全增强应用、周边车辆警告系统和校车司机培训计划。评估将侧重于有用性、有效性和用户角度的接受度。此外，还将进行社会经济分析。
