Samenvatting
In Argentina many roads cross a great number of cities built by the roadside. These days local authorities are building humps and bumps to regulate speed. Humps and bumps can turn into a serious danger for drivers who travel on roads run across by them. This research aims at studying the dynamic action of four typical hump profiles from the Rio Cuarto surrounding area on vehicles and their occupants. Results reveal that profiles should keep an adequate relation between their height and length so as to not be dangerous for cars and their occupants and to carry on the function of speed reduction.
