Selection criteria for usage of aluminum wires in automobile wiring harness

2015 IEEE International Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC), 2015
In the automobile industry, high fuel prices and growing environmental concerns have continuously driven up the demand for fuel efficient vehicles. Improved transmission and engine design, aerodynamics, fuel quality improvement and weight reduction are some of the various methods which can contribute to increase in fuel efficiency.

Wire Harness Simulation and Analysis Techniques

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2000
<div class="htmlview paragraph">An increasingly important, yet often underestimated task of modern vehicle design is the system interconnect, commonly known as the wire harness. The continual increase in on–board vehicle electronics is causing an exponential expansion in wire harness complexity.

Lightweight construction criteria in wiring harnesses

ATZelektronik worldwide, 2008
Current automotive wiring systems comprise up to 3500 m of insulated cables with considerable weight. Saving potentials can be identified both in alternative insulation and conductor materials and in cable design. Modern insulation materials such as Coroflex TT3 made by Coroplast, for example, potentially offer insulation weight savings of up to 20 ...

Wiring harness design - can a computer help?

Computing & Control Engineering Journal, 1998
Raychem and ADE (Analysis & Design Engineering Ltd.) have developed a computer-aided wiring harness design system to help engineers select the most suitable parts and undertake many of the necessary analysis operations. This article describes some key features of the wiring harness design process and a little of the background on how the system was ...

Alternative process plans in wire harnesses production

2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010), 2010
This paper deals with a scheduling problem with alternative process plans that was motivated by a production of wire harnesses where certain parts can be processed manually or automatically by different types of machines. Only a subset of all the given activities will form the solution, so the decision whether the activity will appear in the schedule ...

Design of Wire Harnesses for Mass Customization

2003
The paper focuses on the design of wire harness assemblies for mass customization by a delayed product differentiation. In order to manufacture broadly diversified products, two algorithms are proposed both using a generic representation of wire harness with all options and variants in order to produce each wire harness in a short period of time.

Automotive Wire Harness Trade for Haitian Development

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
A piece of legislation extended since 1983 grants tariff free exports of automotive wire harnesses from Haiti to the United States. A log-log gravity model is used to determine if the legislation would be of benefit to Haiti. The resulting estimate shows Haiti is very unlikely to gain from the legislation due to its poor infrastructure and lack of ...

A Survey of Wire Harness Manufacturing Strategies

1987
It has long been acknowledged that wire harness assembly is a labour intensive operation. Work is now underway in areas of both harness design and harness machine development to provide greater production efficiency. This paper characterises the harnesses in three industries which represent combinations of loom output and complexity.
