We used an agent-based model to examine the impact of the walking school bus (WSB) on children's active travel to school. We identified a synergistic effect of the WSB with other intervention components such as an educational campaign designed to improve attitudes toward active travel to school. Results suggest that to maximize active travel to school, children should arrive on time at "bus stops" to allow faster WSB walking speeds. We also illustrate how an agent-based model can be used to identify the location of routes maximizing the effects of the WSB on active travel. Agent-based models can be used to examine plausible effects of the WSB on active travel to school under various conditions and to identify ways of implementing the WSB that maximize its effectiveness.
我们使用基于代理的模型来研究步行校车（WSB）对儿童上下学的积极影响。我们发现，WSB 与其他干预措施（如旨在改善对积极上下学态度的教育活动）之间存在协同作用。研究结果表明，为了最大限度地增加儿童上下学的步行出行，他们应该按时到达“车站”，以便 WSB 可以更快地行走。我们还展示了如何使用基于代理的模型来确定路线的位置，以最大限度地发挥 WSB 对步行出行的影响。基于代理的模型可以用于研究 WSB 在各种条件下对积极上下学的影响，并确定实施 WSB 的方法，以最大限度地提高其效果。
