Abstract

The SeparationsPietons project, coordinated by Alexandre Nicolas (Claude Bernard University - Lyon 1), focuses on the measurement of distances between pedestrians in different daily situations involving crowds in order to establish scenarios for an assessment of the risks of viral transmission. Existing models of the probability of transmission of the virus by air as a function of distance in particular will be used to draw up a typology of situations according to their degree of risk of contamination.
