Share: Embry-Riddle researchers are taking a novel approach to predicting outbreaks of the Covid-19 virus: developing models of traffic volume compared to viral activity in different regions of the country.  “It would appear that increases in highway traffic might be a leading indicator of where and when outbreaks of Covid-19 are likely to occur,” said Scott Parr, assistant professor of Civil Engineering and a principal investigator on the project, along with Dahai Liu, professor in the School of Graduate Studies, and Sirish Namilae, associate professor of Aerospace Engineering. “This research will investigate and model the relationship between roadway traffic and viral outbreaks … and assist in the planning of recovery efforts.”
