Speed Monitoring Program
Below are plots of the speed data that has been collected. The "Maximum Segment Spot Speed" represents the maximum speed that a single test vehicle, equipped with GPS transceivers, achieved along the street segment at any point in time during its test run. This vehicle was driving with the flow of traffic, no slower, no faster. The "10-Second Average Speed" represents the maximum average speed obtained by any of several test vehicles (these vehicles include a high percentage of trucks, along with some company fleet vehicles and private cars) over a 10-second period while travelling along the street segment. Essentially, the former can be thought of as a maximum spot speed; the latter, a maximum sustained speed.
