Abstract
In this research, to minimize road dust in the air which has a harmful effect on public health a new filtering device prototype was proposed. The proposed device was designed to be mounted on public buses. The best location of the device on the public bus was found from the airflow dynamic analysis around a public bus which runs in Ulaanbaatar city. It was found from the numerical simulation, the air flow around the bus is perturbed at the rear side of the bus. It produces vortices at the rear side of the bus. Considering the power supply to the filtering device, the engine room at the rear side of the bus was chosen as an optimal location for the device. The device was mounted on a public bus and had collected road dust for two weeks. From the test results, it is concluded that the proposed device has a very high performance in collecting road dust with minimum efforts.
