WP 1: Transport Risk Model
University of Leeds and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory
WP1 will focus on the development of risk models to draw data together across the project and assess transmission risk under increasing complexity in public transport scenarios.
WP 2: Surface Sampling
UK Health Security Agency
WP2 will focus on measuring COVID-19 and human respiratory associated agents on surfaces and air in transport systems. It aims to understand both the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory microorganisms and to also test the effect of selected mitigation strategies on microbial contamination in public transport environments.
WP 3: Transport User Behaviour and Demographics
University of Leeds
Understanding details of users of the transport system. Information will be collected through current datasets, an app, wristbands and surveys.
WP 4: CCTV and Operator Data Analysis
Newcastle University
Analysis of CCTV footage through use of algorithms to characterise proximity and surface contact on different transport modes.
WP 5: Environmental Transmission and Mitigations
University of Cambridge and Imperial College London
Measuring the pathways for airborne transmission on public transport and the effects of mitigation measures (e.g. increased ventilation rates, screens etc) through measurements on transport vehicles, lab studies and computational models.
