System and method for determining a vehicle's maximum velocity

Abstract

A system and method of determining a vehicle's maximum velocity are disclosed. The system includes a computing device configured to: receive three-dimensional (3D) acceleration data; receive a type of vehicle; receive in real-time a location or velocity of the vehicle on the road during travel when the velocity of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined minimum value; calculate road surface frequency using the 3D acceleration data and the real-time location and/or velocity of the vehicle receive an acceleration threshold for the travel; calculate a maximum recommended velocity for the travel based on the acceleration threshold, the type of the car, the road surface frequency, and the location; and send the calculated maximum recommended velocity to an external computing device wherein the road surface frequency is a mathematical expression of at least one of, the bumpiness and curvature properties of the road.
