Street Dust : implications for stormwater and air quality, and management through street sweeping.
Street dust represents a source of dual potential risk to stormwater and air quality. It has been well-documented that washing of this material to local watersheds can degrade water quality. Studies have also demonstrated that as much as 85% of ambient particulate matter (PM₁₀), exposure to which …

Potential and Quantification of Street Sweeping Pollutant Reductions towards addressing TMDL WLAs for MS4 Compliance
… and meet total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). Street sweeping is potentially an effective BMP since streets exist throughout urban watersheds, often are directly connected to the storm sewer, and are found to contain an abundance of contaminants. Although pollutant removal from street sweeping …

Waste collection & street-sweeping route optimization using a 2-stage cluster algorithm & heuristic approaches
Waste collection and street-sweeping play a vital role in public health, safety, and overall cleanliness. Since these processes cannot be ignored, they should be done in an efficient manner. The following thesis proposes a novel 2-stage clustering approach, namely the Static and Dynamic Clustering, …
