UV-LED Air Purification System for Ground Public Transportation
FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-01
Summary
The ground transportation industry has experienced a steep decline in traffic as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canadians feel less safe travelling in mass transportation environments given the uncertainty surrounding the risk of contracting COVID-19 and future viruses in these spaces. The NRC and TC seeks to challenge the Canadian industry to develop solutions that can be used in existing federal, provincial, and municipal buses and trains to protect onboard occupants by mitigating the airborne viral risks while restoring confidence in transportation.

Description
The ground transportation industry has experienced a steep decline in traffic as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canadians feel less safe travelling in mass transportation environments given the uncertainty surrounding the risk of contracting COVID-19 and future viruses in these spaces. The NRC and TC seeks to challenge the Canadian industry to develop solutions that can be used in existing federal, provincial, and municipal buses and trains to protect onboard occupants by mitigating the airborne viral risks while restoring confidence in transportation.
Description (French)
Le secteur des transports en commun terrestres a subi un abrupt déclin en matière de trafic à la suite de la pandémie de COVID-19. Les Canadiens et Canadiennes se sentent moins en sécurité dans les lieux de transport en commun compte tenu des incertitudes concernant les risques d'être contaminé par la COVID-19 et d'autres virus dans de tels environnements. Le CNRC et TC désirent mettre au défi les industriels canadiens afin qu'ils apportent des solutions qui pourront être mises en œuvre dans les autobus et les trains fédéraux, provinciaux et municipaux pour protéger les usagers en atténuant les risques de contamination par des virus capables de se propager par voies aériennes, ce qui contribuera à restaurer la confiance du public à l'égard des transports en commun.
Expected Results
Grow Canadian companies through direct funding to support early stage, pre-commercial research and development, late stage prototypes, and to accelerate commercialization.
Expected Results (French)
Faire croître les sociétés canadiennes au moyen de financement direct versé pour soutenir la recherche-développement (R-D) précommerciale à un stade précoce et les prototypes à un stade avancé et en accélérer la commercialisation.
