Carbon Dioxide Concentration & Temperatures On Tour Buses
The case measured the overall effects of CO2 on tour buses
The effects of CO2 output based on the number of passengers on the tour bus
The different levels of CO2 and what causes the increase level of CO2
The Dedicated Organizations
Taiwan Environment Protection Administration
Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department
(Along with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA and the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienist ACEIH)
How does CO2 contribute to the traffic accident involving tour bases?
The acceptable level of CO2 for a tour bus is 1000pm
The levels of CO2 that can cause an accident due to effects of Downiness, fatigue, sleepy, a stuffy sensation, deepen breathing, headache, difficulty concentration
The more passengers that are on a tour bus the higher the risk
Tour Bus Layout
Challenges Data Inaccuracy- the driver open and closed the windows and doors which lowers the CO2 level.
The Indoor Air Quality Monitor used could only measure a maximum of 3000ppm as such the CO2 level could have been at 6000ppm. All three days measure the maximum 3000ppm.
Decision TakenThe Taiwan EPA- Announced the first group of indoor spaces- If the CO2 concentrations in tour buses are not reduced the bus drivers may be penalized.
Co2 concentrations could be reduced, if changes were made to the circulation/ventilation system
Data AnalysisTemperature change (AC system) reduces the CO2 level
The number of passengers determine the level of CO2
Mileage reduced by 5 - 25%
The need to reduce the energy consumption provided an incentive for low rate of ventilation
The Transportation system
The transportation system used was only Tour bus.
The Strategies used was to lower the CO2 levels.
The
Evaluation Every transportation system has it advantage and disadvantages
As tourism students we must be able to ensure the safety and health of our passengers, through the use of CO2 monitors in buses.
