New AI model estimates car speed using only smartphone accelerometer data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed CarSpeedNet, a novel machine learning model capable of estimating vehicle speed using only accelerometer data from a smartphone. This model does not require gyroscope, GPS, or vehicle-specific data during inference. Experiments showed that a 4-second input window achieved a root-mean-square error of 1.8 m/s, significantly outperforming a 1-second window which resulted in a 2.9 m/s error. AI

IMPACT This model could enable new applications in vehicle analytics and driver behavior monitoring without requiring complex sensor setups.

    Learning-Based Speed Estimation from Accelerometer-Only Inertial Sensing

    arXiv:2401.07468v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The proposed model, CarSpeedNet, estimates scalar vehicle speed from a window of three-axis smartphone acceleration, without gyroscope, wheel-odometry, vehicle-bus, or positioning input at inference. The reported experimen…
