Diagnostics: What is the difference between Trips History Speed and the Engine Road Speed measurement?

Updated 

Answer

The trips history (and the speed profile) shows the GPS speed and the measurements show the speed calculated by the engine. GPS based speed tends to be more accurate because the engine road speed uses rotation of the tires which can change based on tire pressure, tire treads etc.
