1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, by a server device, historical location data, associated with a vehicle, captured by a global positioning system (GPS) device of the vehicle;
obtaining, by the server device, historical engine control unit (ECU) data concerning the vehicle,
wherein historical ECU data is associated with a revolution frequency of a drive shaft, and
wherein the historical ECU data is captured by the ECU of the vehicle;

processing, by the server device, the historical location data and the historical ECU data;
determining, by the server device and using a model, a relationship between the historical location data and the historical ECU data,
wherein the model is a machine learning model;

updating, by the server device, the model based on current location data and current ECU data associated with the vehicle; and
deriving, by the server device and based on real-time location data associated with the vehicle, a calculated equivalent real-time ECU speed of the vehicle using the model,
wherein the real-time location data includes real-time GPS location data, and
wherein the calculated equivalent real-time ECU speed is an estimate of a speed of the vehicle captured by the ECU.
