Modular design of products can effectively reduce product development cycle with the idea of concurrent engineering, the efficient management of module interface information in the design process is the premise and foundation for module sharing. This study aims to develop a methodology for interface information management in bus chassis modular design. The characteristics of module interfaces in mechanical design are firstly investigated by the comparison with USB interfaces. A digital expression method is then proposed to describe the characteristics of interface geometry information using two matrices with mapping relationships. An encoding method is then developed for the interface information management in modular design. Finally, the implementation of the above method was illustrated with a case study of an electric bus chassis modular design. Novelty of the research is to provide a methodology to represent the characteristics of interface in mechanical design through digital expression. 1 Article history: Concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to product design and its related processes (manufacturing process and support process) in parallel and integrated. This approach requires designers to take into account all factors that cover the life cycle of the product in the initial stage of the design, the product model that meets the requirements of the user is established through the cooperation and sharing of information from various departments [1][2][3][4] . For modular products, concurrent design of multiple modules with the idea of concurrent engineering can effectively reduce the development cycle of products. In the design process, the module interface is the basis for the product module to realize the connection, establish a unified "language" to achieve interface information management is a useful way to improve the design efficiency.Authors have already made positive contributions concerning the design and information management of the module interface. For example, Definitions of interface has shown firstly and the importance of minimize interfaces during a product realization process is emphasized [5] ; Development of an interface design method based on an axiomatic design, which evaluates and selects the interface design scheme with the use of a DFMA software tool [6] ; also, definition the performance parameters of the modular machine tool which interfaces and analyses the influence of these performance parameters on the overall performance of machine tools [7] ; A researcher divided interfaces into internal interfaces and external interfaces, discussed the relationship between modular product interfaces and product innovation design, and established the theoretical matrix of interfaces [8] ;Development of a coding and serialisation design method of the loader module interface, which improved the versatility and interchangeability of the module [9] ; Taking a hydraulic press as an example, and proposing a concept of flexible interface, researchers expanded the application of modular desi...
