Abstract:This study takes Jiangnan Primary School in Chongqing as a case study, analyzing the spatial characteristics of school commuting routes to explore how such features affect children’s independent travel behaviors. Using CNN/YOLO models, we quantified the flow of solo (A1) and group travels during morning (T1) and afternoon (T2) commutes, then established regression models to examine the relationships between spatial factors to travel patterns. Key findings are as follows: Morning travels (T1) are significantly influenced by perceived health (H2: H2-1, H2-2) and fun (F2: F2-1, F2-2). Afternoon travels (T2) correlate with group dynamics and spatial perception features (S2-1, C2-1). Spatial form characteristics have a greater impact on afternoon travels (T2), with health (H1: H1-2), comfort (C1: C1-1), convenience (Q1: Q1-1), and fun (F1: F1-2) showing positive effects, while F1-1 exhibits a negative effect. For morning travels (T1), spatial form features S1-2 and H1-1 have a negative impact on solo travels (A1). The study proposes child-centric route design principles in order to inform urban planning practices.
