Abstract:

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) performed this research project under contract to the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida in support of the FTA Standards Development Program. The purposes of this project were to (1) demonstrate the production of a durable physical temporary barrier between the front and rear passenger compartment of a transit bus to reduce the exposure risk to COVID-19 for the operator and passengers, (2) perform an air flow test of the temporary barrier; and (3) share the results to maximize the positive impact to the public transportation system throughout the U.S. To test the air flow in the cabin and temporary barrier design, VTTI worked with two local transit agencies to procure several buses with different heating, ventilation, and air conditioning configurations. The tests were conducted during dedicated route service on surface streets and on a closed course at Virginia Smart Roads with no passengers other than the testing staff.
