Method for monitoring discrete tank level sensor in e.g. fuel tank for detecting fuel level in e.g. diesel engine vehicle, involves determining sloshing range limitations, and evaluating level signal adapted to range limitations

摘要

The method involves determining sloshing events, and enclosing a number of sloshing events on a filling level at a transmitter position in a tank (100) e.g. fuel tank, and from an operability of a tank level transmitter. Accelerations of the tank are subjected, characterizing data is detected, and sloshing range limitations are determined based on acceleration data. Evaluation of a level signal adapted to the sloshing range limitations is enabled, and acceleration characterizing data is detected and averaged over a predetermined period of time or filtered using a low pass filter. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a computer program including a program code comprising a set of instructions to perform a method for monitoring a discrete tank level sensor in a vehicle (2) a computer program product comprising a set of instructions for performing a method to monitor a discrete tank level sensor in a vehicle.
