    Harnessing Vehicle Induced Roadway Airflow to Capture Trash / Dust / Debris

    My apologies for the lack of information prevously. Using a street sweeper to collect trash seems like reasonable solution but they operate at a low speed are considered unsafe for widespread highway use. Currently highway trash in California is collected via rain water and filtered down to...

    Harnessing Vehicle Induced Roadway Airflow to Capture Trash / Dust / Debris

    Oh there are many questions indeed. I would expect a solution to be implemented in highly urban settings with high trash loads and where many highways have existing sound walls. Implementing in a more natural setting would not make sense as trash loads are typically much lower. Stating that a...

    Harnessing Vehicle Induced Roadway Airflow to Capture Trash / Dust / Debris

    I'm wondering if it's possible to harness vehicle induced airflow to capture, congregate, or gather dust, trash and debris on a highway. What type of design could be considered and how would a design be implemented
