Air quality in urban areas continues to be of growing concern when it comes to pollution and even airborne viruses, so the conceptual 'CAPS 2.0' smart bus shelter is designed to help change this. The bus shelter maintains a futuristic form and function that would work continuously to purify the air around it to eliminate 99.95% of PM0.1 airborne allergens, while also killing viruses, bacteria and fungi in seconds. The unit maintains a modern aesthetic that would look right at home within the cityscape thanks to a series of display panels for detailing an array of pertinent information to citizens.
The conceptual 'CAPS 2.0' smart bus shelter is the design work of Charis NG in collaboration with Sino Inno Lab and Arup.
