Explore bounded coordinated scenario (i.e. not nearest but centrally allocated within a given threshold)

[loladekhuijzen]

we implement a coordinated scenario using LP where we bound travel times by 60 minutes, with the exception of locations for which travel times already exceed 60 minutes.

unwanted side effect: this impacts not only the optional rerouting of students but also which schools open and close, so we may now force schools open in remote areas if students otherwise have to travel 15 minutes more compared to their nearest school.

alternatively, impose a relative cap?

15 minutes leads to: lower travel times, 8-12 percent increase of facilities with <min students, 35-45 percent increase in penalty
