This is simply calculating vehicle speed based on RPM and gear ratio figures and then calculating average acceleration. I am assuming you are doing a basic delta v/delta t calculation. That would not yield instantaneous acceleration, and would be somewhat inaccurate, but I guess it depends on how close your time points are exactly. Plus, why not simply use the vehicle velocity data from the OBDII? Is it not as accurate?
