ABSTRACT:
A vehicle speed measuring method and apparatus which can cope accurately with several vehicle speed sensors which produce different numbers of pulses for one rotation. Such vehicle speed sensors prepared for the method and apparatus produce predetermined different numbers of pulses for one rotation, some of such sensors defining a group wherein such numbers of pulses have a greatest common divisor greater than 1. It is first determined whether or not a particular vehicle speed sensor employed belongs to this group of sensors. When the sensor belongs to the group, pulses therefrom are frequency divided by a value obtained by division of the number of pulses produced for one rotation of the sensor by the greatest common divisor, and time data indicative of the time of appearance of a pulse by frequency division are stored into a memory for one rotation of the sensor. A period for one rotation of the sensor is calculated from such stored time data, and a vehicle speed is calculated from the period and a distance over which the vehicle runs for one rotation of the sensor.
