Optimal design of commercial vehicle systems using analytical target cascading

This paper presents an industrial application of the analytical target cascading methodology to optimal design of commercial vehicle systems. The design problems concern the suspension of a heavy-duty truck and the body structure of a small bus. The results provide valuable insights in the feasibility of system-level design targets and the adequacy of subproblem design spaces during product development.
