riety of on-board video security
systems and passenger information solutions is key. By utilizing
these existing technologies, such
as on-board security cameras and
artificial intelligence, the system
can further adjust to conditions in the vehicle, such as the
number of people onboard and
their proximity to each other.
With an integrated system, management software can provide
detailed reports of air treatment
levels during the route, deliver
remote notifications regarding
the system health and any issues
that may arise, and connect to
other on-board devices to provide additional adaptive controls. Capacity calculations that
utilize surveillance footage can

automatically detect the number
of occupied and available seats
in real time. This information
can then be relayed to passengers via on-board passenger
information systems to promote
social distancing.
Recently, there has been increased interest in the use of
thermal cameras to detect potential infections through a passenger's body temperature. Using a
fully integrated solution, this
technology can be used to alert
the control center of health risks
onboard the vehicle, as well as
trigger the air treatment system
to increase the level of treatment
in the air in a discreet way to
provide additional protection for
other passengers and operators.

This also eliminates interaction
and enforcement by the operator.
By utilizing an integrated
and adaptive solution, transit
agencies can efficiently monitor
vehicles and implement an air
treatment solution that prevents
viral transmission while simultaneously supporting the efficiency
of transit operations and communications to passengers. Current
transit technology solutions are
most often regarded as ways to improve efficiencies, train operators
and manage fleet health, but the
industry is headed toward a future
where science-backed technology
can do more, including protecting
the health of transit operators and
passengers and allowing a safe return to ridership.

Kirk Goins is CEO
of Luminator
Technology Group,
a global manufacturer of technology,
communication and
safety solutions for
mass transit applications. By leveraging Luminator's
extensive engineering resources, Goins
has led the organization in developing
integrated best-inclass solutions for
on- and off-board
passenger information, video security,
lighting and other
solutions designed
to increase the
safety, efficiency
and intelligence of
transit operations.
