Increased adoption of electrical vehicles is expected to eliminate toxic exhaust emissions, among them particulate matter (PM). However, it is frequently overseen that PM arises not only from combustion, but from non-exhaust traffic related causes as well, in particular tyre wear and brake operation. While electrical operation can help to reduce brake dust as well, the same is not true for tyre dust, especially because electrified vehicles tend to weigh more than conventional ones. Given this background, we analyze in this paper how online control strategies could be used to reduce tyre dust during normal traffic. Using available models, it is found that a corresponding control strategy could reduce forces on the wheel in longitudinal direction by about 40% in city traffic conditions which leads to an estimated 58% decrease in the number of tyre particles.
