  Traffic congestion and safety continue to pose significant challenges in
urban environments. In this paper, we introduce the Smart Speed Bump (SSBump),
a novel traffic calming solution that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT)
and innovative non-Newtonian fluid materials to enhance road safety, optimize
emergency response times, and improve the overall driving experience. The
SSBump uses IoT sensors to detect and communicate with emergency vehicles,
reducing response times by temporarily deflating. These sensors also analyze
traffic patterns and inform data-driven decisions. Additionally, the SSBump
uses an Oobleck mixture that adapts its behavior based on the velocity of
approaching vehicles, resulting in a safer and more comfortable experience for
drivers. This study commences with an overview of the prevalent traffic
congestion, followed by a discussion on various available options in this
domain. Subsequently, the paper explores the advantages of smart speed bumps
and their operational mechanisms. Finally, it presents a comprehensive analysis
of the results, its challenges, and the prospects of the work. The findings of
this research demonstrate the potential of the SSBump system to revolutionize
traffic control, emergency response time, and the driving experience in smart
cities, making it a game-changing innovation for advanced transportation
systems.
