School Bus Travel Model
This program is designed for TIMS Data Manager to estimate school bus travel speed as a function of traffic controls, posted speed, level of congestion, length, number of stops and students on stops. The calculated speed does not follow the usual speed categories in TIMS, however, it provides a guideline to determine the speed based on scientific method.

This study was presented in 2000 NC Spring Pupil Transportation Conference by Tori Rhoulac at the 2001 Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C. Download the speed model programs:
