A method for measuring the low speed of a car moving on a surface covered with a layer of ice is considered. The measurement is based on the triangulation method of laser radiation, with which the road surface relief could be measured. To determine the speed of the vehicle based on the relief obtained, two identical laser meters were used. A description of the measurement method, processing, and visualization of data in the LabVIEW 2012 program is given in two modes - in the simulation mode (based on the mathematical model) and in the real-time measurement mode using the developed system layout based on the Arduino Uno.
