Technical solutions of the vehicle system will be designed and optimised during the course of the design process that precedes the construction phase. For this purpose, systematically known and new solutions are to be contrasted with one another and then evaluated in a technical and economic manner with the help of the extended morphological box. Layout calculations, benefit analyses, failure modes and effects analyses as well as reliability observations round off the evaluation of designs.

Elements of the design and evaluation process:

• Component designs
• Schemata designs
• Software specifications
• Calculations and optimisations
• Implementation of benefit analyses
• Implementation of reliability observations
• Implementation of FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analyses)
