THE OBSERVATION OF DILATANT FLUIDS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN DEVELOPMENT OF SPEED CONTROL BUMPS

Abstract

This article explores the possibility of improving modern road artificial irregularities designed to regulate road traffic. As a research task, the authors determined an attempt to assess the possibility of using the properties of dilatation fluids to create smart road artificial unevenness capable of adjusting the resistance to movement of a car depending on its speed. For this purpose, the article presents a description of dilatant fluid’s properties with an explanation of their atypical behavior. In this paper, the possibility of using the substance of the dilatation liquid in creation of means of calms of the transport movement, namely as a speed control bump, is considered and checked. Advantages and disadvantages identified during the researching of the proposed design, which reflect the relevance of using of the creation in real climatic and social conditions, are analyzed. On the basis of the obtained results, recommendations for more efficient operation of road artificial irregularities on the basis of dilatation liquids were drawn up.
