Abstract
A method and a system are provided for capturing particle emissions from a tire of a vehicle. The system includes a triboelectric generator configured to generate an electric current. The system includes a capture surface configured to have an electric field. The system includes a first electrical connecting line connecting the triboelectric generator to the capture surface. The first electrical connecting line is configured to pass to the capture surface the electric current generated via the triboelectric generator. The passed electric current is used by the capture surface to generate the electric field. The system includes a set of filters attached to the capture surface. A computer program product is also provided which may cause a computer system to adjust a supplementary power flow to the capture surface based on a control signal that is received.
