Optimum design of speed control humps for vehicles.
TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1988 This paper deals with optimum design problems of humps for controlling vehicle speeds. Optimum humps are obtained for a segment of a circle in section using a method with a SUMT optimizing a hump for a vehicle. The objective of the design is to minimize the maximum acceleration of the driver occurring during a vehicle crossing a hump at a design speed ...
