Smart Speed Bumps Market Size & Share, by Product (Speed Bump, Speed Hump, Speed Cushion, Speed Table); End-user (Domestic, Government); Elements (Speed Detector, Controller, Mechanism of Retraction/Deployment of Bump, Internal Communication System); Connection (Wired, Wireless) - Global Supply & Demand Analysis, Growth Forecasts, Statistics Report 2028

Smart Speed Bumps Market Introduction

Smart speed bumps are considered to be one of the most effective devices to slow down the traffic in high pedestrian areas. Swedish company Edeva designed the smart speed bump called Actibump. These speed breakers have a speed detector in them that opens and closes according to the vehicle’s speed. This makes it different from normal speed breakers since it allows emergency vehicles to go without any interference. As the world is becoming more used to smart technologies, speed bumps may lead the market in the upcoming years.

Market Size and Forecast

Smart speed bumpers are estimated to present a great opportunity to take over the conventional speed breakers. These contain sensors which open for the vehicles that are exceeding the speed limit and remain closed for the vehicles which are maintaining their speed limit, i.e., they can cross the road without any speed breaker.

The global smart speed bump market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR throughout the forecast period, i.e. 2020-2028. The market is segmented by product, by end user, by elements, by connection and by region out of which, the product segment is further segmented into speed bump, speed hump, speed table and speed cushion. Today, in almost every country, the traditional speed breakers are used, however, as the world is shifting from conventional technology to smart technology, smart speed bumpers are predicted to become a great option. Additionally, there are a limited number of companies in the world presently which manufacture such breakers; hence it is a great opportunity for them to earn more revenue. 

Growth Drivers

Better than the conventional speed breakers

The major benefit of smart speed bumps is that they only open for those who are exceeding the speed limit and hence do not affect the people who follow the guidelines for the maximum speed allowed.

Rising demand of smart technology

In these modern times, there is a shift from conventional technology to smart technology, i.e., people today are becoming smart with respect to the dynamic technology. This is anticipated to bring greater opportunities for the companies to earn more profit through the manufacturing of smart speed bumps.

Advantage for emergency vehicles

Normal speed breakers are for everyone including the emergency vehicles. But smart speed bumps may give relaxation to these vehicles as they have sensors which allow emergency vehicles to pass through, even at higher speeds.

Restraints

High price and maintenance cost

Smart speed breakers are much costlier as compared to normal speed breakers since they require sensors in order to read the speed of the cars and open accordingly. Moreover, their maintenance cost is high as well, which is predicted to limit the market growth in coming years.

Might damage cars running at moderate speeds

Smart speed breakers have a particular speed set and if any car exceeds the speed, they open automatically. One major disadvantage of these speed bumps estimated to restrict the market growth is that they open even when a car is running at a moderate speed causing damage to the car’s shock absorption system.

Operational difficulty during snow conditions

An important limitation of smart speed bumps is that they face difficulty during snowy conditions as the snow gets underneath the panels and interferes with the movement of the device.
