The kilometre per hour (American English: kilometer per hour) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. The unit symbol is km/h or km·h−1, however, it is also referred to as kph in some English-speaking countries, especially within the generations that went through metrification or still use Imperial units or U.S. customary units. Worldwide, it is the most commonly used unit of speed on road signs and car speedometers.
Although the metre was formally defined in 1799, the term "kilometres per hour" did not come into immediate use – the myriametre (10,000 metres) and myriametre per hour were preferred to kilometres and kilometres per hour. In 1802 the term "myriamètres par heure" had appeared in French literature and many French maps printed in the first half of the nineteenth century had scales in leagues and myriametres, but not in kilometres. The Dutch on the other hand adopted the kilometre in 1817 but gave it the local name of the mijl.
Miles per hour (abbreviated mph, MPH or mi/h) is an imperial and United States customary unit of speed expressing the number of statute miles covered in one hour. Although kilometres per hour is now used worldwide, miles per hour remains the standard unit for speed limits in the United States, the United Kingdom, Antigua & Barbuda and Puerto Rico, although the latter two use kilometres for distances.
These include roads in the United Kingdom, the United States, and UK and US territories; American Samoa, the Bahamas, Belize, British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Grenada, Guam, Myanmar, The N. Mariana Islands, Samoa, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, St. Helena, St. Kitts & Nevis, Turks & Caicos Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda (although km are used for distance), and Puerto Rico (same as former).
Miles per hour are also used in the Canadian rail system. In some countries it may be used to express the speed of delivery of a ball in sporting events such as cricket, tennis and baseball.

High Speed, High Safety The world-class technology of Shinkansen Since Japan's Shinkansen bullet train service went into operation 50 years ago, it has prided itself on its high speed, high safety and punctuality unrivaled in any other country. It boasts a record of no passenger fatalities caused by accidents, and an average delay of only 30 seconds from the scheduled time. Thanks to the use of aerodynamics and world-class environmental measures, combined with Japanese technological expertise, the Shinkansen is now on the verge of entering an era of running at 500 kilometers per hour. This program examines the cutting-edge technology used by Japan's high-speed trains, and the worldwide attention it is attracting. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/tv/special/201411.html By NHK Worl...
