Restoring Elevator Carrying Capacity During the Era of Social Distancing via Disinfected Airflow and Ultraviolet Flash

Elevators are a critical element of "last mile" transportation infrastructure in high population density environments whose carrying capacity is severely constrained by recent social distancing recommendations. The design presented here aims to mitigate this loss by employing a system of disinfected downward airflow to effectively reduce the social distancing length scale.
