| Summary: | School pickup is a daily routine for most parents
during the school term. The use of private vehicles
as daily commute to transport students to and from
schools has caused school-related traffic
congestion and air pollution problems. The after
school waiting bay of most schools in urban areas is
normally very crowded with students waiting for
transport to travel home. Teachers on duty and school student council members are assigned to
monitor and control the crowded situation. Some
schools implement drive-thru pickup procedure in
which the teacher on duty need to be very attentive
and observe the cars approaching the bay for
pickup in order to queue up the students at the
pickup bay. With the outbreak of pandemic COVID-
19, the teachers not only need to observe the
vehicles heading to the pickup bay but to ensure
the students obey social distancing norms. To
alleviate after school pickup related problems, a
mobile application for after school pickup is
proposed. With this application, the school teachers
would be able to obtain a list of pickup requests
from the parents via the mobile application and
queue up the students accordingly with safe social
distancing at the pickup bay. This can ease the
crowded situation, minimize parents’ waiting time
at the pickup lane, and reduce air pollution problem
caused by vehicle engines that are running while
waiting at the pickup lane. |
