GEOMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF ROAD HUMPS FOR SPEED-CONTROL DESIGN

This study attempts to establish practical geometric design guidelines of speed-control humps for road engineeers. A statistical relationship between hump geometric characteristics and hump-crossing speeds of passenger cars is developed, which can be used as a basis for designing hump geometry for a selected hump-crossing vehicle speed. Based on field measurements of hump geometry and hump crossing speeds of passenger cars, this study shows that statistically significant regression relationships can be established between hump-crossing speed statistics and hump geometry characterized by area-to-width ratio.
