Abstract

A method of determining a barometric pressure of atmosphere, in which an internal combustion engine of a vehicle is located includes monitoring operating parameters of the internal combustion engine and the vehicle, determining a healthy status of an air filter of the internal combustion engine, and calculating the barometric pressure based on the operating parameters and the healthy status of the air filter.
