Biosafety enclosure for occupants of vehicles

A method for providing biosafety of occupants of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• providing a biosafety enclosure comprising:
• (1) a protective cover member made of a durable material shaped to form a three-dimensional structure that isolates one or more occupants of the biosafety enclosure from other occupants of the vehicle, wherein the protective cover member encompasses at least one seat of the vehicle and wherein a size of the biosafety enclosure can be modified by reclining the at least one seat of the vehicle;
• (2) a plurality of connectors;
• and (3) one or more air circulation vents;
• connecting the plurality of connectors to a ceiling, a floor, a wall, and/or a structure around an area within the vehicle that will house the one or more occupants;
• providing an ingress/egress member in a partition of the protective cover member to allow entry/exit of occupants to/from the biosafety enclosure;
• and
• connecting an external air filtration device or an air filtration system of the vehicle to the one or more air circulation vents of the biosafety enclosure.

A system for pathogen protection in a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a biosafety enclosure for one or more occupants of a vehicle, the biosafety enclosure comprising:
• a protective cover member made of a durable material shaped to form a three-dimensional structure that is installed inside of the vehicle and isolates the one or more occupants of the biosafety enclosure from other occupants of the vehicle, wherein the protective cover member encompasses at least one seat of the vehicle and wherein a size of the biosafety enclosure can be modified by reclining the at least one seat of the vehicle;
• at least one sensor that collects biometric data of the one or more occupants inside the biosafety enclosure;
• and
• a program code embedded in a non-transitory medium and executable by a hardware processor configured to:
• receive the biometric data;
• determine a likelihood of pathogenic exposure inside the biosafety enclosure based on the biometric data;
• and
• generate an alert indicative of the pathogenic exposure in response to determining that the likelihood is greater than a threshold likelihood.
