Abstract: An autonomous road dust purification system for mitigating urban particulate matter includes a chassis divided into a front intelligence section and a rear purification section. A sensor suite including lidar, real sensor camera, and cameras performs spatial mapping and obstacle detection. A processing unit includes a GPU for computer vision and a micro-controller for hardware commands. A power management system includes a battery, BMS, voltage regulator, MCB, and charging port. A locomotion system includes wheels driven by wheel motors controlled by a motor driver. A safety system includes a headlight, LED light, and horn. A connectivity module includes GPS and GSM modules. A purification mechanism includes a sweeper brush, vacuum motor generating suction through a vacuum pipe, and multi- stage filtration assembly capturing PM2.5 and PM10 particulates. A vibrator shakes filters to prevent clogging. A weight sensor monitors bin capacity and triggers return for disposal. (Figure 1)
