Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is posing significant challenges to public transport operators by drastically reducing demand while also requiring them to implement measures that minimize risks to the health of the passengers. While the collective scientific understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 pandemic are rapidly increasing, currently there is a lack of understanding of how the COVID-19 relates to public transport operations. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the current research on COVID-19 transmission mechanisms and how they relate to public transport. We critically assess literature through a lens of disaster management and survey the main transmission mechanisms, forecasting, risks, mitigation, and prevention mechanisms. Social distancing and control on passenger density are found to be the most effective mechanisms. Computing and digital technology can support risk control. Based on our survey, we draw guidelines for public transport operators and highlight open research challenges to establish a research roadmap for the path forward.

新冠肺炎在公共交通中的传播风险、缓解和预防调查

新冠肺炎疫情对公共交通运营商构成了重大挑战，大幅减少了需求，同时也要求他们采取措施，最大限度地降低对乘客健康的风险。尽管对SARS-CoV-2病毒和新冠肺炎大流行的集体科学理解正在迅速增加，但目前对新冠肺炎与公共交通运营的关系缺乏了解。本文对新冠肺炎传播机制及其与公共交通的关系的研究现状进行了全面综述。我们通过灾害管理的视角对文献进行批判性评估，并调查主要的传播机制、预测、风险、缓解和预防机制。保持社交距离和控制乘客密度被认为是最有效的机制。计算机和数字技术可以支持风险控制。根据我们的调查，我们为公共交通运营商制定了指导方针，并强调了公开的研究挑战，以建立未来道路的研究路线图。
