How to get speed with pitot sensors ?

Pitot and Car Speed : The Pitot is a pressure sensor. It measures air pressure generated by the forward motion of the car, related directly to the speed. Relation between Pitot pressure and Car Speed is: P = 1/2 * pV² P is the pressure in Pascal p is the air density, it depends on atmospheric pressure and air temperature p = 0.348 P¨/T with P = Atmospheric Pressure in millibars and T= temperature in °K ( 273 + Temperature in °C) V is the speed in m/s ( Km/h / 3.6) Example : for 180 km/h ( 50 m/s ) at 15°C and 1000mbars ( p=1.208) Pitot Pressure => 0.5 x 1.208 x 50 x 50 = 1510 Pa Note : 1000 Pa = 4,013 inches H2
