Calculation

v = s / t

This is an average; acceleration and stops are included in total time.

Understand the inputs
  • Average speed vDistance divided by total elapsed time.
  • Distance sTravelled distance.
  • Time tTotal duration including stops when relevant.
Example

100 km in 2 h gives 50 km/h.

Assumptions and limits
