Smart Speed Bumps flatten for slower drivers

December 12, 2008 by BabyReaps  
Filed under Blog, Concepts

Not all speed bumps are created equal, and sometimes they do appear suddenly while we’re driving, resulting in a nasty crunch and some heartache to you as you stop to assess the damage done to your new ride. Why, with this new smart speed bump concept, things could be very different for those who adhere to road rules. Imagine going slower than 30km/h - this speed bump will automatically lower itself to the ground for smooth passage, while any vehicle registering above 30km/h will have to slow down to avoid the bump from damaging their vehicle. This will encourage drivers to retain a constant slow speed in order to reduce carbon emissions.

    Although we believe the Nintendo DS Lite manufacturers have the ability to bypass the upgrades, the flashcards are likely to be completely shielded in the near future because of more and more closely link between host and network. No matter in the present or in the future, flashcard as an illegal method, is used widely by players, some players uses flashcard to play games. Many people believe that the users of flashcards are only the beneficiaries, but the companies can’t earn the Acekard 2i cost of games, the R4DS will have the embarrassing situation that they have no games to play, so the ultimate victims will be the players of their own.

  4. [...] LED-encrusted speed bump flattens out when you’re not flat-out Speed bumps are supposed to punish the speeders and minimally offend those abiding by the legal limits. But, as all drivers know, crossing the things sucks at any speed and, regardless of how brightly painted they are, they’re easy to miss until you’re finding out the hard way just what kind of suspension travel your ride offers. A smarter bump from designers Jae-yun Kim and Jong-Su Lee could be the answer. Unlike the ones we’ve covered in the past, this one stays up all the time, using a small damper inside to flatten out when a car drives over it at low speed. The higher force applied by a faster car would prevent the bump from lowering and, presumably, ruin that dastardly speeder’s day. The things are also festooned with LEDs on the front, back, and sides, which might just mean you’d be able to see this one in time to save your dubs from destruction. Via: Techie Diva [...]
