Abstract
Since 2020, COVID-19 has raged throughout the world, and with recommendations to open windows and ventilate enclosed spaces, such as buses and trains, attention has been drawn to the issue of indoor environmental pollution. Therefore, it was hypothesized that measuring and reporting the air quality inside buses would allow passengers peace of mind. In this research, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors were installed inside buses, and the measured data were analyzed. With the cooperation of Sue Town in Japan, IoT sensors were installed in regional public transportation systems (i.e., Japanese Community Buses) and data that temperature, humidity, CO\(_2\), noise, and pressure were collected. The measured data were displayed in real-time on signage inside the bus. As a preliminary step to predict the ability of the buses to maintain normal air quality inside the vehicles at all times, data accumulated on three buses over a six-month period were analyzed.
