1. Equipment used
| Instrument | Type | Serial | Verification performed on site |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTI TruSpeed S | LiDAR, 905 nm | TJ001563 | Known fixed distance 500.0 ft - read 500.0 ft. Pass. |
| Stalker Dual DSR | RADAR, Ka 34.7 GHz | [Serial] | Tuning fork 40 mph (S/N 83919) - read 40. Internal circuit test. Pass. |
| Stalker RLR | LiDAR, 905 nm | [Serial] | Cross-check against TruSpeed S at 4 speeds, agreement ≤1 mph. Pass. |
2. Conditions and geometry
Air temperature
91 °F
Wind
8 mph, crosswind
Visibility
Clear, unlimited
Surface
Dry asphalt
Measurement angle
< 3° from path of travel
Cosine error at 3°
−0.14% (reads low)
Radar mode
Stationary, both-direction
Runs recorded
4 hold points
The measurement angle was held under 3° from the vehicle's path of travel. The cosine effect at this angle understates true speed by 0.14%, so any residual geometric error in this certificate is in the vehicle's favour and cannot inflate the measured speed.
3. Speed over time
Continuous Ka-band radar track with discrete LiDAR verification locks, over one 96-second run.
4. Results
| Hold | Indicated | Individual readings (mph) | Spread | Mean measured | Error | Error % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 | 31, 31, 32, 31, 31 | 1 mph | 31.2 | +1.2 | +4.0% |
| 2 | 45 | 47, 47, 46, 47, 47 | 1 mph | 46.8 | +1.8 | +4.0% |
| 3 | 60 | 62, 63, 62, 63, 62 | 1 mph | 62.4 | +2.4 | +4.0% |
| 4 | 75 | 78, 78, 79, 78, 78 | 1 mph | 78.2 | +3.2 | +4.3% |
Individual readings are recorded at the 1 mph display resolution of the instrument. Means are computed from those readings. Spread is the range across readings at a single hold point; every hold point above sits within ±1 mph.
5. Statement of results
Across four hold points between 30 and 75 mph indicated, the vehicle's true road speed was measured consistently higher than its indicated speedometer speed, by an average of +4.1%. The error is proportional rather than a fixed offset: it grows from +1.2 mph at an indicated 30 mph to +3.2 mph at an indicated 75 mph.
Radar and LiDAR agreed to within 1 mph at every hold point. In practical terms: at an indicated 65 mph this vehicle is travelling at approximately 68 mph.
