Aviation Infectious Risk and Safety: Dissemination and benchmarking of human motion for disease modeling
The research will strengthen the agent-based movement component of the TRIP-X communicable disease transmission model through structured benchmarking against publicly available modeling approaches and dissemination of previously collected human behavior datasets. Benchmarking will compare model performance to identify strengths, limitations, and opportunities for model refinement. Human behavior datasets developed under a related project (Communicable disease preparedness: M&S framework for analyzing cabin health hazards) will be prepared for public dissemination to encourage independent replication, facilitate peer review, and support broader adoption by government, industry, and academic researchers. Results will be documented in publications and used to improve confidence in the TRIP-X modeling framework for potential future FAA SRM applications.
