With a major drop in U.S. transit ridership since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increased understanding of infectious disease in confined spaces and the role of droplets and particles in transmission has been increasingly important to the bus industry. A combination of experiments, models, and simulations in fluid dynamics has been employed to understand how aerosols move in spaces containing people.
TRB's Transportation Insights 2: Air Quality in Transit Buses provides a summary of a June 2022 in-person TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Insight Event.
