Abstract
Traffic congestion and safety continue to pose significant challenges in urban environments. In this paper, we introduce the Smart Speed Bump (SSBump), a novel traffic calming solution that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) and innovative non-Newtonian fluid materials to enhance road safety, optimize emergency response times, and improve the overall driving experience. The SSBump uses IoT sensors to detect and communicate with emergency vehicles, reducing response times by temporarily deflating. These sensors also analyze traffic patterns and inform data-driven decisions. Additionally, the SSBump uses an Oobleck mixture that adapts its behavior based on the velocity of approaching vehicles, resulting in a safer and more comfortable experience for drivers. This study commences with an overview of the prevalent traffic congestion, followed by a discussion on various available options…
