Abstract

There is an effort to maximize the payload of vehicles within the legal framework and to develop more fuel-efficient drive systems with low emissions. Hence the determination of representative requirements to cover reliability and durability at a maximum lightweight and cost potential are of crucial importance. At the Institute of Automotive Engineering the so-called 3D-method was developed for the purpose of identifying the representative customer’s requirements. This method systematically divides customer operation in driver, driven vehicle and driving environs. This paper presents the creation of representative testing requirements for commercial vehicles using the 3D-method based on a huge database of customer measurements realized in cooperation with Daimler AG.
