The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for determining an ACTUAL delivery volume for a dosing pump (DP) intended for delivering a substance from a container (B), and which is further intended for use with an adjustment means for manually adjusting a TARGET delivery volume for use in a vehicle washing system (WA). The method comprises the following method steps:Reading in a container data record (bds) for the container (B) from which the substance is to be delivered by means of the dosing pump (DP);reading in a digital level value (fs) representing a level measured in the container (B) by means of at least one analog level sensor (FSS) orreading in a digital pressure value (p) representing a pressure measured in the container (B) by means of at least one analog pressure sensor (DS) and reading in a digital density value (φ) for the substance to be delivered by the dosing pump (DP);Determining and outputting the ACTUAL delivery volume (ist-fv) which has actually been delivered by the dosing pump (DP) in a measuring time interval, based on the read-in digital level value (fs) or the read-in digital pressure value (p) and the read-in density value (φ) and on the basis of the read-in vessel data record (bds).The quality of the washing process will be improved and the consumption of substances to be added will be reduced.
