The Influence of Functional Factors on the Performances of Motor Vehicles

Digital Object Identifier 10.32754/JMT.2019.1.04 23 1Abstract—The paper highlights the main possibilities of studying the influence of the functional parameters on the vehicle’s efficiency and its dynamic behavior. Mathematical algorithms are applied, which allow us to study these issues based on experimental data gathered throughout specific tests carried out on certain vehicles. These algorithms are applied on vehicles which have electronic control for various automotive systems, thus the data was gathered from the vehicles’ built in CPUs. To this purpose we will show how to use sensitivity analysis, dispersion analysis, correlation analysis and information theory in automotive engineering.
