Overview

An Actibump is an automatic speed-bump on a road. It is triggered when a speeding vehicle drives over an activated piece of the road, and causes a change in the level of the road, as a warning to the driver.[1]

Installations

The Actibump system is installed in several cities in Sweden, including Linköping, Uppsala, Västerås, Helsingborg, Malmö and on the Öresund Bridge. Currently, there are over 100 Actibump units active in the world.[2]

Actibump can be installed in roads with heavy traffic where the speed limit is 5-60 km/h. The system can also be used at logistics centers, toll stations, airports, etc.

Effects

The Actibump system has shown through several independent evaluations that the average speed decreases and that the emissions and noise level also decreases.[3]
