Abstract
A fuel measurement system and a fuel gauge error reduction method are provided. The fuel gauge error reduction method includes determining a driving mode of a vehicle based on an external input condition; calculating a remaining amount of fuel using a different manner corresponding to each driving mode; and providing the calculated remaining amount of fuel.
Claims13
A fuel gauge error reduction method comprising:
- determining one of driving modes of a vehicle based on an external input condition, wherein the external input condition includes one of turning ON or OFF of an electronic stability control or turning ON or OFF of a sports mode among selectable driving modes of the vehicle;
- in response that the electronic stability control is OFF or the sports mode is ON, determining that the vehicle is in a circuit driving mode;
- calculating a remaining amount of fuel using a different manner corresponding to each driving mode, wherein the remaining amount of fuel is calculated based on fuel consumption of an engine in the circuit driving mode;
- and
- providing the calculated remaining amount of fuel.

A fuel measurement system comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- determine one of driving modes of a vehicle based on an external input condition, wherein the external input condition includes one of turning ON or OFF of an electronic stability control or turning ON or OFF of a sports mode among selectable driving modes of the vehicle;
- when turning OFF of the electronic stability control or turning ON of the sports mode is input and held for a predetermined entry delay time, determine that the vehicle is in a circuit driving mode;
- and
- calculate a remaining fuel quantity using a different manner corresponding to each driving mode, wherein the remaining fuel quantity is calculated based on fuel consumption of an engine in the circuit driving mode;
- and
- a fuel gauge configured to provide the calculated remaining fuel quantity.
