Technology for calculating stationary wind speed from a moving vehicle

A computer program product (CPP) for use with a vehicle equipped with a vehicle velocity detection device and a vehicle-based wind velocity detection device, the CPP comprising:

• a set of storage device(s) with each storage device including at least one type of data storage medium;
• and
• computer code stored collectively in data storage media of the set of storage device(s), with the computer code including data and instructions to cause a processor(s) set to perform at least the following operations:
• receiving a vehicle-based wind velocity from the vehicle-based wind velocity device;
• receiving a vehicle velocity from the vehicle velocity detection device;
• and
• calculating, by a processor, a stationary wind velocity value by vector subtracting the vehicle velocity from the vehicle-based wind velocity.

A computer system (CS) for use with a vehicle equipped with a vehicle velocity detection device and a vehicle-based wind velocity detection device, the CS comprising:

• a processor(s) set;
