Abstract

A method of sensing vehicle speed is disclosed. The method comprises self-powering a speed sensor and taking a sample of speed sensor data from the speed sensor. The sample of speed sensor data is processed to calculate a calculated speed, and the calculated speed is wirelessly transmitted to a server.
