SPEED BUMP SYSTEM HAVING AN ACTUATABLE SPEED BUMP AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ACTUATABLE SPEED BUMP

Abstract:

A speed bump system includes an actuatable speed bump for use with a vehicle roadway, the actuatable speed bump including an element and an actuator configured to move the element between a first position and a second position. The speed bump system also includes a controller configured to receive an input signal including data from a wireless vehicle-to-x communication, the data indicative of a characteristic of a vehicle, and to generate a control signal operative to control the actuator to move the element of the actuatable speed bump between the first and second positions based on the characteristic of the vehicle. A method for controlling an actuatable speed bump is also described.
