Public transport handrails are high-touch surfaces that can harbor bacteria and viruses, posing a risk of indirect disease transmission. AutoClean Grip is an innovative self-disinfecting handrail system designed to continuously reduce microbial contamination. Utilizing technologies such as antimicrobial coatings, UV-C irradiation, or automated sanitizer misting, it maintains hygiene independently of passengers’ actions. By providing continuous surface disinfection, AutoClean Grip enhances commuter safety, reduces disease spread, and decreases reliance on manual cleaning. This solution supports public health, increases passenger confidence, and offers economic benefits through lower healthcare and maintenance costs, making urban transit safer and more sustainable.
