Impact of speed humps of bicyclists

Safety Science, 2016
Abstract Speed hump is one of the most popular and economical traffic calming measures used globally. It induces shocks and vibrations in the vehicles passing over it. Hump aims to force the driver to reduce the vehicle speed to an optimum speed at which the discomfort is minimum.

Effects of speed humps on vehicle speed and pedestrian crashes in South Korea

Journal of Safety Research, 2020
Speeding is a crucial risk factor for pedestrian safety because it shortens reaction time while increasing the impact force in collisions. Various types of traffic calming measures to prevent speeding have been devised. A speed hump-a raised bump installed in the pavement-has been widely used for this purpose.To evaluate the effectiveness of speed ...

Multiobjective shape optimization of speed humps

Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 2008
This paper presents a new approach to the shape optimization of road speed humps. The proposed approach is based on multiobjective genetic optimization of the hump profile while taking into account the separation phenomenon, which occurs when the front tires of the vehicle momentarily lose contact with the road surface.

Optimization of Speed Control Hump Profiles

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2009
In this study, the goal attainment method is implemented for the optimization of speed control hump profiles. Basic dimensions for a number of hump profile functions are optimized for single vehicles classified in five categories and for a specified distribution of these vehicles. Objective functions are selected as combinations of the longitudinal and
