Multi-criteria Multi-scenario Approaches in the Design of Vehicles

1. Abstract This paper summarizes findings related to dealing with the complexity of the design of vehicles for optimal dynamic performance under various driving scenarios. It describes how the authors and their students have been able to improve various algorithms and approaches over several years and where they stand today. The work reviewed starts with a MonteCarlo-based vehicle design metho...

Relative Importance of Criteria in Configuration Design of Vehicles

Configuration design of mechanical systems corresponds to finding the placement of a set of components such that performance criteria are optimized while satisfying design constraints. In this paper, the configuration design of a midsize truck for optimum vehicle dynamic behavior, survivability, and maintainability is considered within a multi-criteria decision making framework in which decisio...

A Learning Technique to Determine Criteria for Multiple Document Summarization

In this paper we describe a new method of automatic summarization based on a learning step to identify criteria that maximize the correlation between human summary and peer extract. The proposed method uses a genetic algorithm to produce extracts from a collection of source documents describing the same event. Theses extracts are compared to human summaries using “Rouge measure” in order to ide...
