Dynamic considerations of speed control humps
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 1982Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of hump parameters (cross section, dimensions, spacing, etc.) on the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle and the driver. Vehicle safety and driver comfort are most important in evaluating the effectiveness of speed control humps.

An efficient urban localization method based on speed humps
Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems, 2019Abstract Outdoor localization is of great importance for driving navigation, attracting many research efforts in past decades. Prevailing GPS achieves meter-level localization accuracy under general outdoor conditions. Yet, GPS service performs poorly in urban canyons where skyscrapers block GPS signals and drain mobile phone battery quickly within ...

The use of road humps for moderating speeds on Urban streets
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1992Road humps are devices placed in the path of traveling vehicles. They are used in many communities to keep a uniform and low speed on a residential street or to reduce speeds at specific locations, such as intersections or pedestrian crosswalks.

Profile Optimization of Table Top Speed Hump for Speed Control
Volume 8: 11th International Power Transmission and Gearing Conference; 13th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies, 2011Speed bumps are the most commonly used measure to control speeding in urban areas world wide. Specifications on profiles and dimensions are largely based on road tests. Studies into speed bumps, directed at evaluating their effectiveness in reducing accidents and their environmental impact, have brought some negative aspects concerning speed bumps to ...

Humping mechanisms present in high speed welding
Science and Technology of Welding and Joining, 2006As welding speeds continually increase owing to automation and newer processes, a common defect that occurs is humping. Humping is the periodic occurrence of beadlike protuberances. The objective of the present investigation is to review current and previous researches that were made on humping, including both experimental and theoretical studies.

A simple experiment to model speed bumps and humps
European Journal of Physics, 2020Abstract The effects of speed humps and bumps in slowing vehicles were investigated using a mass suspended on a spring. An impulse was applied to the mass by lowering and raising the top end of the spring by hand. The impulse duration was varied to simulate different driving speeds, and the displacement of the mass vs time was ...
