Edeva’s intelligent speed bump raises the game

First published in the Intertraffic Innovations Guide - April 15, 2020

Sweden-headquartered Edeva has launched the Actibump, an intelligent speed bump that only affects those who speed, making it an invaluable safety system.

Actibump is a dynamic traffic safety system. A radar unit measures the speed of an oncoming vehicle and if it is above the set speed limit, a hatch is lowered a few centimetres into the road surface, giving the speeding driver an uncomfortable physical reminder of the speed limit. Vehicles driven at a legal speed pass on a level road without discomfort.

Edeva says that using the Actibump, will provide a robust piece of equipment to create a safe and accessible traffic environment for all. The device is connected to EdevaLive, a software as a service (SaaS) system that handles both data collection and storage as well as remote monitoring of the hardware.

A web interface presents the data, both in real-time and over the lifespan of the system and provides proof that the Actibump affects driver behaviour. Additional data, such as vehicle classification can be collected and presented using the EdevaLive system.
