“Modeling Social Distancing in Crowded Places During a Pandemic: Evaluating Its Impact on Disease Transmission Risk”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115525

This study develops a model for simulating social distancing in crowded places during a pandemic by introducing two density-related floor fields into the traditional cellular automata model, and evaluates the impact of social distancing on disease transmission risk, finding that although it is effective in preventing interpersonal transmission, an increase in environmental transmission may offset this effect.
