[Abstract] The paper deals with the optimal design of road vehicles and their subsystems. The highly competitive nature of the automotive industry demands constant product innovation and reduction in product development both in time and cost while satisfying performance and legal requirements. Optimization procedures provide a scientific approach to automatically determine the most efficient designs under the target operating environment. Particular attention is devoted to the class of methods pertaining to complex system design optimization, as well as the approaches for the optimal design of complex systems under uncertainty. A critical review of the optimization methods used for solving road vehicle system design problems is reported. Some examples of design optimization are given in the field of vehicle system dynamics, powertrain design, internal combustion engine design, active and passive safety, vehicle system design and lightweight structures, advanced automotive electronics.

“…In the extant literature, the design process has been described in many ways [60,66]. Here, we assume that this process is composed of four stages, namely conceptual design (determines the principle of a design solution), preliminary design (verifies whether the conceptual design complies with physical laws), embodiment design (the design is physically instantiated), and detail design (refines the results of the previous stage).…”

“…So, the designer's activity undergoes iterations between an analysis stage, in which the relationships between parameters, performance indices, and inherent design limitations are assessed, and a synthesis stage, in which the possible and desired performances are obtained by a proper parameter setting. This iteration between analysis of the problem and synthesis of a solution is common to many methods of design theory [60,79].…”

This article deals with the optimal design of ground vehicles and their subsystems, with particular reference to 'active' safety and comfort. A review of state-of-the-art optimization methods for solving vehicle system design problems, including the integration of electronic controls, is given, thus further encouraging the use of such methods as standard tools for automotive engineers. Particular attention is devoted to the class of methods pertaining to complex system design optimization, as well as approaches for the optimal design of complex systems under uncertainty. Some examples of design optimizations are given in the fields of vehicle system dynamics, powertrain/internal combustion engine design, active safety and ride comfort, vehicle system design and lightweight structures, advanced automotive electronics, and smart vehicles.
