Our project uses different technologies, biological methods, specialized hardware and software in order to identify potential health threats in the air contained in an indoor environment, and according to what is found by many sensors acts accordingly, activating filters, ozone cameras or even ultraviolet light in order to decontaminate how many times and for how long is needed.
Our solution basically is a modular device which performs the air filtration generating O³ starting from part of the O² captured from the air, and inserting the correct amount and limit the maximum human exposure besides instantly disinfecting the inlet filter with UV rays.
The complete module also consists of reading the air inlet and outlet with sensors of the following types:
After filtering, the air that will be reinserted in the closed space will be of a decontaminating nature, decontaminating the entire environment.
This project was designed based on the difficulties identified to use the public transportation during epidemic times. The public transportation is one of the worst environments for contagious diseases dissemination, hence our solution is intended to turn these into clean and safe areas or even a decontamination environment for people to use.
Using a combination of existing technologies, such as filters, ozone, UV rays, sensors and broadband access, our solution is scalable for the global use and in different transportation, such as buses, trains, cars, airplanes and others.
