# SPEED

Shedmate, the platform that processes the measurements, recognises all speed values provided as kilometres per hour (km/h) and performs internal conversions as required.

1 km/h (kilometre per hour) remains as 1 km/h, as it is the base unit.

1 m/s (metre per second) ≈ 3.6 km/h.&#x20;

With these conversions, all speed measurements will be in the base unit, kilometres per hour (km/h), making it easier to make consistent calculations and comparisons.
