mittauspyörä

Mittauspyörä, also known as a measuring wheel or odometer wheel, is a device used to measure distances traveled by a vehicle. It consists of a wheel with a known circumference that rotates with the vehicle's wheels. The number of rotations is counted, and the total distance is calculated by multiplying the number of rotations by the wheel's circumference. This method provides a direct measurement of distance, which is useful for applications such as surveying, navigation, and vehicle maintenance. Mittauspyörä is particularly valuable in environments where GPS signals may be unreliable or unavailable, such as in tunnels or dense forests. It is a reliable and cost-effective tool for accurate distance measurement.
