AI Speed Gun
AI Speed Gun – Speed From Distance and Time
How fast was that cyclist going? 🚴 AI Speed Gun turns your phone camera into a simple speed calculator. You enter your distance to the path, the camera times how long a passing cyclist takes to cross the view, and the app calculates the approximate speed in km/h or mph.
📱 How to use it
1. Stand still beside a cycle path or quiet road, about 2 to 5 metres away.
2. Set that distance in Settings (1 to 100 metres).
3. Tap DETECT, hold your phone steady and point the camera across the path.
4. Let a cyclist pass from one side of the screen to the other. You see the speed live, and the result is saved automatically when the movement stops – with a sound and vibration if you like.
📐 How the speed is calculated
At a known distance, the camera view covers a known width of the path. The app follows the moving subject from frame to frame and divides the distance it travels across the view by the time it takes – the same distance-and-time principle as timing someone between two markers. The more accurate your distance setting, the closer the result.
✨ AI distance suggestion
When something starts to move, the app can send a camera snapshot to an online AI service that recognises what is passing – for example a person or a bicycle – and suggests a distance based on its typical size. You can always set the distance yourself.

💡 Good to know
- Results are approximate and depend on how accurately you set the distance.
- Works best with cyclists passing 2 to 5 metres away, moving across the screen rather than toward you.
- Keep the phone still: moving the camera changes the result.
- Slow, small, distant or very large subjects may not be picked up.
- AI Speed Gun is not a radar and not a certified speed-measuring device.
