Method and system for estimating the volume of fuel contained in a tank of a transport vehicle

A method (100) for estimating a volume of fuel available in a fuel tank (6) of a transport vehicle (1), the tank (6) comprising a tank wall inside which a space is defined for containing fuel, the method (100) comprising, in sequence, the steps of: a) exciting (101) a vibration of the tank (6); b) a...

description A method (100) for estimating a volume of fuel available in a fuel tank (6) of a transport vehicle (1), the tank (6) comprising a tank wall inside which a space is defined for containing fuel, the method (100) comprising, in sequence, the steps of: a) exciting (101) a vibration of the tank (6); b) acquiring (102) a response signal correlated to a frequency response produced by the tank (6) due the excited vibration; c) processing (103) the acquired response signal to obtain an estimate of the initial volume of fuel available in the tank (6); d) gradually taking (104) fuel from the tank (6) with the transport vehicle (1) in use; e) estimating (105) a quantity of fuel taken gradually from the tank (6); f) estimating (106) the volume of fuel available in the tank (6) based on the initial volume and quantity estimate of fuel taken gradually.
