As a traffic deceleration device, speed bumps are widely used to reduce the speed of vehicles and have a good effect. However, in special occasions such as hospital entrance, the bumps caused by ordinary speed bumps are likely to aggravate the pain of patients. In view of this situation, an intelligent speed bump is designed in this paper, which can adjust the height of the speed bump according to the speed of the passing vehicles. When a low-speed vehicle passes by, the elastic link slider module works, so that the upper surface of the speed bump can be elastically lowered to improve the ride comfort of low-speed vehicles. When a high-speed vehicle passes by, the centrifugal locking module will lock the elastic link slider module, and the upper surface of the speed bump will be locked, which plays a role in speed limit. In this paper, SolidWorks and ADAMS/car are used to analyze the process of vehicle passing through the intelligent speed bump.

Lane changing manoeuvers is an essential rudiment in vehicle driving and has a significant impact on the characteristics of traffic flow. In the case of traditional cars, the driver operates the vehicle to complete the lane change whilst for autonomous vehicles, completing the lane change requires planning the lane change trajectory and controlling the vehicle speed during the lane change. Unreasonable lane change trajectory and vehicle speed may cause the vehicle to lose stability, threaten driving safety, increase energy consumption and waste energy. This paper considers the safety and economy of the lane changing process, and proposes a new lane changing method for vehicles.
