Sweden installs Actibump systems in the city of Ystad

The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has installed Edeva’s traffic system speed bumps on the E65 road in the city of Ystad. Called Actibump, the solution is intended to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the street from Ystad harbour. Actibump detects if the speed of an oncoming vehicle is above the limit and lowers a hatch a few centimetres into the road surface to remind the driver of the speed limit.
