Abstract
This research aims to study the innovation of a prototype air-conditioned bus waiting stop designed to reduce dust from traffic in the area of the city. Uthai tani Province, Thailand. Objectives are to design a closed air-conditioned bus stop and install a dust filter device and test the effectiveness of reducing the amount of dust generated by traffic in the bus stop area. Data on PM<sub>2.5</sub> (Particulate Matter of size less than 2.5 micron) and PM<sub>10</sub> (Particulate Matter of size less than 10 micron) was collected with the air quality sensor model number PMS7003. The study found that the designed air-conditioned bus stop prototype can reduce the amount of particulate matter caused by traffic from the application of engineering knowledge in its design, installation, inspection, and can control dust levels with air pressure systems and air purification systems. It was found that the amount of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> inside the air-conditioned bus prototype and outside are different. From collecting data on PM<sub>2.5</sub> and PM<sub>10</sub> concentrations, it was found that the concentrations outside the air-conditioned bus stops were always higher than inside the prototype air-conditioned bus stops. The innovative design of the prototype air-conditioned bus stop can reduce PM<sub>2.5</sub> particulate matter of 91.95 to 99.49% and PM<sub>10 </sub>of 89.09 to 96.88%.
