  2. Wheel speed sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_speed_sensor

    Speed sensor failures are frequent, and are mainly due to the extremely harsh operating conditions encountered in rail vehicles. The relevant standards specify detailed test criteria, but in practical operation the conditions encountered are often even more extreme (such as shock/vibration and especially electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)).

  3. Speedometer - Wikipedia

    An animation of an electronic Aston Martin speedometer's self-test routine, showing how an analogue speedometer hand may indicate the vehicle's speed A Ford speedometer, showing both mph (outer) and km/h (inner), as well as an odometer in miles A digital, LCD speedometer in a Honda Insight

  4. Tachometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachometer

    Tachometers are used to estimate traffic speed and volume (flow). A vehicle is equipped with the sensor and conducts "tach runs" which record the traffic data. These data are a substitute or complement to loop detector data. To get statistically significant results requires a high number of runs, and bias is introduced by the time of day, day ...

  5. Cyclocomputer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclocomputer

    A sensor based either on the Hall effect, or on a magnetic reed switch, is attached to the fork or the rear of the frame. The sensor detects when the magnet passes once per rotation of the wheel and time stamps or time codes the revolution count. Alternatively, a sensor may be attached to the wheel hub.

  6. NMEA 2000 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMEA_2000

    NMEA 2000, abbreviated to NMEA2k or N2K and standardized as IEC 61162-3, is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine sensors and display units within ships and boats. Communication runs at 250 kilobits-per-second and allows any sensor to talk to any display unit or other device compatible with NMEA 2000 protocols.

  7. Radar speed gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_speed_gun

    It is commonly used by police to check the speed of moving vehicles while conducting traffic enforcement, and in professional sports to measure speeds such as those of baseball pitches, [1] tennis serves, and cricket bowls. [2] A radar speed gun is a Doppler radar unit that may be handheld, vehicle-mounted, or static.

    U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen has introduced legislation seeking to halt American weapons sales to the United Arab Emirates until the United States certifies that the UAE is not arming the ...

  9. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

    Aircraft use pitot tubes to measure airspeed. This example, from an Airbus A380, combines a pitot tube (right) with a static port and an angle-of-attack vane (left). Air-flow is right to left.
