Abstract
Disclosed is a technique for providing aerodynamic force information to improve gas mileage and driving stability of a vehicle. In particular, a plurality of pressure sensors are provided in a vehicle body and are configured to sense the pressure of air received from each of several points of the vehicle when the vehicle is driven. A first unit then calculates an air resistance value by measuring aerodynamic force data which the vehicle receives from air based on a pressure value of air sensed by the pressure sensor and driving information depending on the driving of the vehicle, and a method thereof.
