Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: The author has developed a toolbox for the analysis and synthesis of speed control humps/ bumps. It allows for studying the impact of road hump/bump on the human body. It reports the accumulated vibration dose as a probability of obtaining a spinal cord injury for life long exposure. It also allows to construct an optimum road hump/bump in accordance to user wish for the speed limit, level of discomfort and the rise period for the hump/bump. Road bumps/humps are found in every part of the world in various shapes. Under the unavailability of any standardize text for the construction of road humps/bumps, different countries follow different shapes and have developed there own rules to develop them. In many countries which are not so developed, these road bumps/humps are built on one's own instinct. Present research shows that there isn't any clear technology for constructing them. Different countries follow different shapes but there is no practical tool to analyze them on the grounds of human body response. This toolbox makes all the analysis possible for any shape of the road hump/bump which otherwise is too complicated and tedious. In addition, the toolbox allows to create an optimize road hump/bump according to speed requirement. Hence, this toolbox finds its applicability in any part of world.
