This review paper explores the current state, recent advancements, challenges, and future perspectives of AI-driven approaches for route planning and scheduling of Electric School Buses (ESBs). The integration of artificial intelligence into energy management systems for electric vehicles has gained significant attention, particularly in optimizing school transportation. This study examines various AI techniques, including genetic algorithms, reinforcement learning, and game-theoretic approaches, applied to ESB management. Key focus areas include energy consumption estimation, battery capacity optimization, and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) strategies. The paper also addresses critical challenges such as data integration, security concerns, and operational constraints. Future perspectives highlight the potential of advanced AI techniques, smart grid integration, and personalized transportation solutions. By synthesizing current research and identifying key areas for future development, this review contributes to ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and overall quality of school transportation systems through AI technologies.
