ABSTRACT:
An automotive mileage calculating apparatus of this invention consists of a vehicle speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, a slip detecting circuit, and a mileage calculating circuit. The slip detecting circuit detects a wheel slip either by comparing the accelerations calculated from the vehicle speed sensor's speed signal and from the acceleration sensor's acceleration signal; by comparing the vehicle speeds calculated from the vehicle speed sensor's speed signal and from the acceleration sensor's acceleration signal; or by comparing the mileages calculated from the vehicle speed sensor's speed signal and from the acceleration sensor's acceleration signal. During normal running, the mileage is calculated by using the speed sensor's speed signal. When a wheel slip is detected, the mileage calculation is performed by using the acceleration sensor's acceleration signal, thus giving a correct mileage.
