Dear colleague, V-KEMS <https://www.vkemsuk.org/home> working with RSSB, Innovate UK, and FirstGroup are hosting a three day Virtual Study Group between the 11th - 13th January 2021 on the topic of Reducing the Risk of Covid-19 Transmission on Trains This Study Group will convene researchers, industry and policy stakeholders to provide insight into the challenge through a wide variety of mathematical approaches. The proposed structure of the Study Group is to consider three scales: Scale 1. Modelling of a carriage: controls e.g. airflow, seating design, passenger allocation to seats. Scale 2. Modelling of a journey: static, dynamic, passenger movement, passengers getting on and off. Scale 3. Scheduling across the country, passenger allocation to trains; High times of rail usage (e.g. start of university term); Resilience of schedule based on outbreak. Please do register you interest below: https://eur.cvent.me/GVB7X <https://eur.cvent.me/GVB7X> Specifics will be released in the coming weeks.
