# Barometrically Integrated Bus Designs Sunwin's 'Healthcare Bus' Provides Sanitary Transportation By Daniel Johnson | Published 2020-04-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthcare-bus References: [biometricupdate](https://www.biometricupdate.com/202003/sunwin-rolls-out-buses-with-facial-biometrics-mask-and-fever-detection-for-safer-public-transport) & [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/ae/news-releases/shanghai-sunwins-tech-integrated-healthcare-bus-solution-keeps-the-public-safe-301032248.html) The Sunwin Bus Corporation recently launched a 'Healthcare Bus,' which features biometric and thermal imaging capabilities. The Healthcare Bus can slow the spread of illnesses using a biometric and thermal imaging unit located next to the payment machine. The screening unit is non-contact and can detect if passengers are wearing a mask or not. The bus also relies on UV lights, located in air ducts, that work to sterilize the bus for passengers. The UV lights are able to eliminate 99% of infections, and it can sterilize an environment in 20 minutes. WeiFeng Kan, the Sunwin Chief Engineer spoke about the Healthcare Bus, "With a focus on using innovative technical solutions to create social value, Sunwin is dedicated to upholding public safety. Through utilizing facial recognition, smart-temperature reading, UV lighting and an automatic gas detection system, we have launched the ‘Healthcare Bus’ solution to ensure passenger safety in a non-invasive way."
