I am just looking iphone apps at apple store, and i have found this app g8, http://www.dynolicious.com/, but can you give some ideas or logic that how this app works, i mean how it is possible to measure car performance without using or communicating with any external hardware …??? By using just hardware built into iphone, ie. accelerometer.
It works as follows. The data provided as results are actually estimates, not absolutely correct values measured attaching external hardware to the car. The estimates come from the GPS unit and the accelerometer embedded within the iPhone. Using the GPS you can estimate from the positions detected in different temporal instants the distance travelled and therefore the velocity. Then you can also estimate the acceleration using the accelerometer.
