Im currently attempting to develop an Android Application that displays an accurate road speed for a vehicle in Mile Per Hour (MPH) using Location Latitude/Longitude from GPS.
I have the following code as my first attempt:-
private fun startLocationUpdates() {
val locationRequest = LocationRequest.create()?.apply {
interval = 1000
fastestInterval = 500
priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
}
fusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, manufactureCallBack(), Looper.getMainLooper())
}
@SuppressLint("SetTextI18n")
override fun onLocationResult(locationResult: LocationResult) {
locationResult.locations.forEach { location ->
previousTimestamp = if (this@MainActivity::previousLocation.isInitialized) {
val dist: Double = HaversineAlgorithm.distanceMiles(previousLocation.latitude, previousLocation.longitude, location.latitude, location.longitude)
val currentTime = System.nanoTime()
val time_s: Double = (currentTime - previousTimestamp) / (1_000_000_000.0 * 60.0 * 60.0)
Timber.i("time_s = $time_s :: dist = $dist")
if (dist > 0.0 && time_s > 0.0) {
val speed_mps: Double = dist / time_s
Timber.i("${location.time} speed_mps = $speed_mps")
val speed_mph: Double = speed_mps * something
milesPerHourTV.text = "$speed_mph MPH"
}
currentTime
} else {
System.nanoTime()
}
previousLocation = location
}
}
My Haversine calculation (Km) is as follows:-
fun distance(departureLatitude: Double, departureLongitude: Double, destinationLatitude: Double, destinationLongitude: Double): Double {
val latitudeDelta = Math.toRadians(destinationLatitude - departureLatitude)
val longitudeDelta = Math.toRadians(destinationLongitude - departureLongitude)
val radiusDepartureLatitude = Math.toRadians(departureLatitude)
val radiusDestinationLatitude = Math.toRadians(destinationLatitude)
val a = sin(latitudeDelta / 2).pow(2.0) + sin(longitudeDelta / 2).pow(2.0) * cos(radiusDepartureLatitude) * cos(radiusDestinationLatitude)
val c = 2 * asin(sqrt(a))
return EARTH_RADIUS * c
}
to Miles :-
fun distanceMiles(departureLatitude: Double, departureLongitude: Double, destinationLatitude: Double, destinationLongitude: Double): Double {
val distanceInKm = distance(departureLatitude, departureLongitude, destinationLatitude, destinationLongitude)
return distanceInKm * 0.621371
}
As I only use two points in my calculations I expected "jittery" results however the figures I see are very odd.
I was thinking of employing Kotlin Flow to send my Location updates to an Averaging function to average out the locations and obtain a more accurate velocity value.
What approach could I take to obtain a more accurate velocity?
Have I made a mistake in my calculations?
