Car integral performance index simulation

Abstract

Introduction . The paper is devoted to the comparison and evaluation of the quality of a car using the method of mathematical simulation of the integral performance index. The work objectives were to develop a mathematical modeling technique for the integral performance index, to draw up a step sequence of quality assessment, to analyze most common brands of passenger cars on the domestic market, to sum up and validate the result obtained. Materials and Methods . The sequence of simulating the integral performance index is proposed. Numerical modeling of the integral performance index is carried out on the example of six most common brands of passenger cars on the domestic market. Results . A method of modeling the integral performance index is developed. A step sequence of the analysis is described. An additive form of determining the integral performance index which provides combining single, unrelated quality indices into a complex indicator in the process of comparison is proposed. Discussion and Conclusions . The proposals presented can be used in the process of assessing and diagnosing the competitiveness of not only cars, but also of other products with a large set of independent quality indicators.
