- 2. CONTENT Introduction Methodology Comparison between conventional and liquid speed breaker Conclusion Reference
- 3. INTRODUCTION A speedbreaker is a hump surface across the pavement having a rounded shape with width greater than the wheel base of most of the vehicles using road

- 5. SPECIFICATIONS Heights rangefrom 50 to 120 mm, with the most common being 75 or 100 mm. Previous research from several countries suggests that to achieve overall speeds of 25 to 30 km/h, speed breakers should be placed between 40 and 60 meters apart. Maximum spacing, up to 100 meters, can be used for speeds of 50 km/h. Speed breakers can either span the entire width of a road or taper short of the curb or road edge.

- 12. CONCLUSION The Non-Newtonian fluid speed breaker help in increasing the fuel efficiency of vehicles up to a large extent. Vehicles need not come to a complete halt in from of speed breaker, reducing traffic congestion. The installation cost and maintenance cost of non Newtonian fluid speed breaker is comparatively low as compare to conventional speed breaker. It does not damage on a vehicle's mechanical components, such as the shock absorbers and steering system if the vehicle is following the speed limit. The setup is completely mobile and can be installed within an hour. The installation process does not require technically skilled person. It helps in reducing traffic noises.
