Average Speed Study

About Average Speed Study Android App

Do you need to know the average speed at which vehicles are traveling on a road? Don’t want to use old paper and stopwatch-based methodologies? No problem, this app will let you conduct average speed studies easily. If you know the distance between two checkpoints enter it into the app and then simply tap a button when a vehicle arrives to the first checkpoint and the same button once the vehicle arrives to a second checkpoint. The speed is automatically computed, displayed to you, and logged. You can easily indicate the type that each speed measurement corresponds by simply tapping the vehicle type on the screen.

As you log additional speeds the average speed is constantly updated to give you a sense of how your speed study is going. Once your study is completed you can generate a CSV report containing all the raw data (speeds, timestamps, and corresponding vehicle type) or simply take a look at a quick summary of the current study to know if you collected a statistically significant sample by looking at the number of speeds logged, the average, maximum, and minimum speeds, along with the standard deviation.

The report produced by the app can easily be shared via email or uploaded to a cloud drive without in a convenient CSV file format as many times as you’d like.

Don’t worry about losing the data collected, if your device runs out of battery or your phone crashes your data is safe. Every time that a single vehicle speed measurement is completed the data is automatically saved.
