Decontamination of transportation vehicles

A computer system, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• receiving GPS data and real-time and historical data relating to contamination for a transportation vehicle from one or more sources in a surrounding environment;
• identifying a route and a location of the transportation vehicle based on the GPS data;
• predicting one or more target areas of the transportation vehicle to decontaminate based on the route and the historical data, wherein the predicted one or more target areas include one or more pre-determined locations on the transportation vehicle most likely to become contaminated along a current route based on prior instances of contamination of the transportation vehicle on the current route contained in the historical data;
• placing one or more decontamination devices at the predicted one or more target areas;
• identifying one or more parts of the transportation vehicle requiring decontamination based on the real-time data from the one or more sources and the location of the transportation vehicle;
• determining whether at least one type of contamination is airborne;
• in response to determining the at least one type of contamination is airborne:
• activating the one or more decontamination devices to increase air pressure inside a portion of the transportation vehicle based on a type of the transportation vehicle;
• and
• releasing the air pressure inside the portion of the transportation vehicle when a door is opened;
• and
• deploying the one or more decontamination devices to sanitize the one or more parts of the transportation vehicle requiring decontamination.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
• receiving GPS data and real-time and historical data relating to contamination for a transportation vehicle from one or more sources in a surrounding environment;
• identifying a route and a location of the transportation vehicle based on the GPS data;
• predicting one or more target areas of the transportation vehicle to decontaminate based on the route and the historical data, wherein the predicted one or more target areas include one or more pre-determined locations on the transportation vehicle most likely to become contaminated along a current route based on prior instances of contamination of the transportation vehicle on the current route contained in the historical data;
• placing one or more decontamination devices at the predicted one or more target areas;
• identifying one or more parts of the transportation vehicle requiring decontamination based on the real-time data from the one or more sources and the location of the transportation vehicle;
• determining whether at least one type of contamination is airborne;
• in response to determining the at least one type of contamination is airborne:
• activating the one or more decontamination devices to increase air pressure inside a portion of the transportation vehicle based on a type of the transportation vehicle;
• and
• releasing the air pressure inside the portion of the transportation vehicle when a door is opened;
• and
