  • Publication number: 20160061855
    Abstract: A method for the combined determination of a speed and an image recording from a moving vehicle is carried out with the following steps: recording an image of a region in front of the vehicle by means of a video camera and storing it in a storage medium, measuring the speed of the vehicle and storing it in a storage medium, associating the values of the speed recorded at a particular point in time with images of the stored image recordings, recording satellite-aided information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation devices in the vehicle, determining the speed of the vehicle at a particular point in time from the recorded data of the GPS, determining the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle at a particular point in time by means of acceleration sensors, determining the speed of the vehicle at a particular point in time from the values of the acceleration and deceleration, determining and evaluating the deviation of the speed determination from the data of the GPS and from the valu

  • Patent number: 8165842
    Abstract: A measuring device for measuring the speed of a vehicle running on wheels has a first sensor and a second sensor. The two sensors are arranged on the same wheel of a vehicle and rotate with this wheel. Both sensors are arranged in such a way that they measure forces which are each perpendicular to the axis of the wheel and at an angle to one another, and act on the same point. An evaluation device is provided to which the measured values of the two sensors are fed, with the evaluation device obtaining the acceleration of the vehicle in the direction of travel therefrom, and calculating the current vehicle speed from it.
