Edeva to deliver two ActiBumps to Curtain University in Western Australia

Edeva is to deploy two active speed bumps at Curtain University in Perth, Western Australia, following an initial deployment in which speeding was reduced from 70% to 25%.

5955 Edeva is to deploy two active speed bumps at Curtain University in Perth, Western Australia, following an initial deployment in which speeding was reduced from 70% to 25%.

Both Actibumps will be installed on Townsing Drive while a third is to replace a ‘dumb bump’, a moulded black plastic bump near the Manning Road entrance, which has caused traffic to slow down to a near stop.

In July 2018, Curtain University activated two ActiBump systems along a %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 link-external road false http://www.itsinternational.com/categories/detection-monitoring-machine-vision/products/actibump-installed-at-curtain-university-to-tackle-speeding/ false false%> around its campus during the summer break.
