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%.

Edeva’s Actibump detects the speed of oncoming vehicles and lowers its hatch by 60mm in the road surface if a driver is speeding – which sends a physical bump to the driver.

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.  

Edeva says its Actibumps are maintenance free and have not required any intervention since being installed last year.

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.

    Bird enables reports of poorly parked and damaged e-scooters
    Bird is to roll out an app feature which allows people to report poorly parked or damaged electric scooters to the company. It is an attempt to solve one of the biggest bugbears surrounding the deployment of scooters and dockless bikes – the issue of what happens when users abandon or abuse the vehicles.

    Most pedestrian detection systems ‘hit pedestrians at 30mph’
    In-car automatic emergency braking systems with pedestrian detection mostly fail to avoid hitting pedestrians - and are “completely ineffective at night”, according to new research. In shocking findings, the American Automobile Association (AAA) revealed that most systems hit a simulated pedestrian target at 30mph. A collision also occurred 89% of the time when a vehicle operating at 20mph encountered a child darting between two cars. In tests, all vehicles collided with an adult pedestrian immediately fo
