Transportation as a Disease Vector – A Modeling Approach
| 项目名称： | Transportation as a Disease Vector – A Modeling Approach |
| 摘要： | Transportation plays a major role in the global spread of disease. It increases the range of movement and the spatial diversity of the infected and exposed individuals, and in the case of public transportation, forces people into prolonged contact in a confined, closed environment. Public transportation vehicles and infrastructure can also facilitate the indirect transmission of pathogens. This study extends traditional epidemiological models by specifically addressing the indirect disease transmission mechanism in the transportation context, by addressing infections that occur when vulnerable people become infected through contact with fomites. A stochastic agent-based modeling approach that models' infections due to local person-to-person and person-to-vehicle interactions was used in this study to assess the potential impact of policies such as vehicle disinfection or social distancing. |
