In order to reduce the risk of getting infected with the new coronavirus in a taxi, a demonstration experiment of a device that can ventilate the inside of a taxi even with the windows closed was conducted in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture.
This device is being developed by Hachinohe Institute of Technology in Hachinohe City, and officials from the Taxi Association and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism participated in the experiment.
The device measures approximately 10 cm in length and 20 cm in width and is equipped with two fans.
By installing it on a window, it is possible to ventilate through a small gap between the window and the door.
The experiment is conducted by injecting smoke that looks like a virus into the back seat of the car and stagnating the smoke inside the car.
I installed the device on the backseat window to ensure that the air was quickly ventilated even with the window closed.
Hachinohe Institute of Technology says that if there is a device, it can ventilate with the windows closed even on rainy days or when the temperature is low in winter, and we are aiming for early commercialization.
Associate Professor Takukatsu Asakawa of Hachinohe Institute of Technology, who was involved in the development of the device, said, "I want to make a device that both taxi users and drivers can feel at ease."
Hiroshi Miura, Vice Chairman of the Hachinohe City Taxi Association, said, "I think that the number of tourists will increase if the scope of Go To Travel expands, so I would like to actively take measures to protect drivers."
