The company that will make you rethink road bumps

You might think of a road bump as – well – a bump. Edeva, the latest partner to Urban ICT Arena, will make you reconsider this. Their product, the Actibump, is a smarter speed hindrance.

If a driver is driving faster than the legal speed limit over an Actibump, a hatch integrated into the road will be lowered a few centimetres. Enough to make the speeder slow down, but moderate enough to not damage the vehicle.

This solution has a big advantage over regular road bumps – traffic flow. David Eskilsson, CEO, explains further:

– Since the Actibump only activates for speeders, no vehicle type needs to slow down far below the speed limit. They can all drive at the speed limit, which leads to a more continuous traffic flow with less noise and lower emissions, but still at a safe speed.
