Modern speed guns use precise measurements of motion to calculate vehicle velocity. Some rely on radar and the Doppler effect, while others use lidar to measure changes in distance over incredibly short periods. But how do these systems turn invisible signals into a speed reading almost instantly? In this video, we break down the science behind modern speed guns, from the basics of measuring motion to how radar calculates velocity, how moving patrol vehicles are accounted for, and how lidar approaches speed measurement differently.
