# 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;

1 mph (miles per hour) ≈ 1.60934 km/h.&#x20;

1 mm/s (millimetres per second) ≈ 0.0036 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.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://shedmate.gitbook.io/shedmate-help/setting-up-shedmate/costing-database-and-pricing-calculations/variables/functions-with-units/speed.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
