Curtin University Campus in Perth, Australia, has activated two of 5955 Edeva’s ActiBump systems along a road traversing around its campus to combat an estimated 70% of vehicles driving over the speed limit. The platforms were installed during the Summer break.

ActiBump is intended to allow users to set the speed limit and other variables via software, which is also programmable for other applications.
