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.

    Falling asleep in an AV… but what happens next?
    Sleeping while a driverless car speeds you to your destination has long been touted as the dream of the new technology – and something of a nightmare for safety campaigners. A new video from the BBC shows exactly what happens if a driver falls asleep in an autonomous vehicle (AV).
