The question can be answered in many ways.
- One device you can use is called a Measuring Wheel. This is hand held, or with some of them, can be attached to a vehicle.
- Another device is called a Hubodometer. This is attached to a vehicles hub.
Without knowing the specifics of the question, this is the best answer that can be given at this time.

What instrument measures distance by a wheel?
A hubmeter.
What instrument measures the distance between your house and the grocery store?
I would use a odometer or a trundle wheel
What instrument measures a soccer field?
trundle wheel
What is the scientific instrument for distance?
Surveyor's Wheel
What does a trundle wheel measure?
it measures the length or distance
What is the linear distance traveled in one revolution of a 36 in diameter wheel?
36 pi
What instrument measures the distance moved by an object?
You can use this tool called a trundle wheel. It's a wheel attached to a stick and after you walk a few steps, it tells you how much did you walk. Like if you wanted to find the distance from a dog to a cat you ue the trundle wheel and walk from the dog to the cat while the wheel rolls along the floor at all times and when you stop, the trundle wheel tells you approximately how far did you walk.
How can you increase the distance traveled on a wheel for each revolution of the axle while keeping bearing friction constant?
oil
How do you find the distance traveled on a bike if you know the wheels diameter?
wheel diameter times pi times number of rotations
A team in science class placed a chalk mark on the side of a wheel and rolled the wheel in a straight line until the chalk returned to the same position the team then measured the distance the wheel?
They measured the distance the wheel traveled on the ground which would be the same as the circumference of the wheel. If they then measured the diameter of the wheel and divided the circumference by the diameter they would have a value for pi.
How does the car know when a mile has been droven?
it has sensors either on the wheel hub or in the transmission to check for distance traveled while in drive
What is working principle of odometer?
An odometer measures the distance a vehicle travels by sensing the rotations of a wheel of a given circumference.
