Do speed bumps really decrease traffic speed? An Italian experience

Accident Analysis and Prevention, 2001
Italy introduced the extensive use of speed bumps only in 1990, in an attempt to limit the high number of fatalities involving pedestrians in urban streets caused by the high speed of vehicles. In many countries, such devices have been the subject of careful investigations (in order to assess their effectiveness and disadvantages for the traffic ...

Average Speed Bumps: Four Perspectives on Averaging Speeds [PDF]

open access: possibleCHANCE, 2005
highway, where each car travels at a constant speed. Assume that the distribution of the speeds is the same throughout the length of the highway. You adjust your speed so that during a given time unit you overtake the same number of cars as the number of cars that overtake you.

Speed bump detection system by autothresholding method

2015 23nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2015
Traffic Sign Recognition Systems help drivers by classifying the traffic signs with some dedicated hardware. In this study, color segmentation and pattern recognition algorithms are developed for detecting speed bump traffic sign. For detection, standard featured mobile cell phone camera is used and this study is concentrated on especially high noisy ...
