Speed sensor

Speed sensor

Speed sensors are machines used to detect the speed of an object, usually a transport vehicle. They include:

*Wheel speed sensors
*Speedometers
*Pitometer logs
*Pitot tubes
*Airspeed indicators
*Piezo sensors (e.g. in a road surface)
*LIDAR
*Doppler radar
*ANPR (where vehicles are timed over a fixed distance)
