Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

Abstract

This dataset contains flight data for all commercial flights in the Northeastern US during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as code to calibrate and simulate an SEIR model that incorporates the flight data into the transmission process.

Description

The flight data contains flights within the Northeastern US and contains flight date, duration, origin, destination, airline, and aircraft registration. The aircraft registration information has been cross referenced with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) database to identify the aircraft type and seating configuration on that aircraft. The dataset also contains normalized COVID-19 infection levels for each county in the five-state region of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. This data is presented as the proportion of infected people in each county on a day-by-day basis.
