This document provides technology, terminology, and procedural definitions common in Motor Vehicle seat design and testing.

This recommended practice applies to any vehicle manufacturer that chooses to publish vehicle dimensions and specifications that may influence customer purchase decisions. The intent is to define standardized vehicle dimensions that reflect showroom conditions and / or dimensions experienced during purchase conditions and also include published dimensions used in marketing / advertising materials irrespective of communications media that influence purchase decisions This document also provides a method to certify OEM and 3rd party compliance with recommended SAE and ISO measurement practices for vehicle dimensions commonly reported publically for marketing and competitive vehicle analysis

This recommended practice defines methods for the measurement of periodic, random and transient whole-body vibration. It indicates the principal factors that combine to determine the degree to which a vibration exposure will cause discomfort. Informative appendices indicate the current state of knowledge and provide guidance on the possible effects of motion and vibration on discomfort. The frequency range considered is 0.5 Hz to 80 Hz. This recommended practice also defines the principles of preferred methods of mounting transducers for determining human exposure. This recommended practice is applicable to light passenger vehicles (e.g., passenger cars and light trucks). This recommended practice is applicable to motions transmitted to the human body as a whole through the buttocks, back and feet of a seated occupant, as well as through the hands of a driver.

This SAE Information Report describes results of testing of the SAE J1746 ISP-Vehicle Standard for the communication of spatial data references between central sites and mobile vehicles on roads. Testing was performed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and its contractors, resulting in a document from which this Information Report has been extracted. Tests were performed by computer analysis and corroborated by field tests with a mobile vehicle.

The materials defined by this U.S. CAR / S.A.E Recommended Practice are low VOC water based coatings for automotive tooling and general maintenance.

This standard sets forth the performance and durability requirements for 12-volt, D.C. brush-type electric motors used for automobile Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) blowers and outlines Production Validation and Continuing Conformance testing.

Presents the seating accommodation model used to determine seat track length for accommodation in design.

This document specifies the interface and the behavior of the VHDL-AMS packages for use in modeling statistical behavior. These packages are useful in defining the statistical variation of parameters of electrical, electronic, and mechatronic components and sub-systems. These can then be used with simulation tools to analyze the performance and reliability of systems composed of these components and sub-systems. Providing a standard definition of the package interfaces and their behavior is intended to facilitate the exchange of models between component and system manufacturers and the use of different CAE simulation tools. The SAE statistical package supports the statistical modeling of design parameters subject to tolerances for designs described using the VHDL or VHDL-AMS languages.

This glossary has been compiled to assist, by serving as a reference, in the communication between the automotive electronics engineer and the reliability engineer. The compilation of terms, acronyms and symbols was drawn from usage which should be familiar to those working in automotive electronics reliability. Terms are included which are used to describe how items, materials and systems are evaluated for reliability, how they fail, how failures are modeled and how failures are prevented. Terms are also included from the disciplines of designing for reliability, testing, and failure analysis as well as the general disciplines of Quality and Reliability Engineering. This glossary is intended to augment SAE J1213, Glossary of Automotive Electronic Terms.

The modeling requirements listed in this document provide guidelines for specifying: Analysis requirements Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulator Model fidelity System assumptions Model architecture Validation requirements Deliverables for electrical/electronic components and the integral interfacing systems (mechanical, thermal, hydraulic) associated with these components. The simulation models are primarily intended to facilitate functional specification and operational evaluation between component and system manufacturers, and are not intended to otherwise constrain or restrict the use of CAE simulation tools for automotive design, analysis and validation.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines conditions to which bonded assemblies can be exposed to simulate environmental aging. These recommendations are generally based on existing Original Equipment Manufacturer requirements at this time. (Environmental specifications used for this proposal were from General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.) The substrate type, dimension, and number are described by the standard for materials being tested and should include control specimens which receive no environmental aging.

This test procedure is for qualification testing of powered gas/brake control systems to assure compliance with the Recommended Practices for these assistive devices. A powered gas/brake control system which passes all of the tests shall be considered to be in compliance with the Recommended Practices. The control shall pass all tests denoted by a “shall” in the Recommended Practice or the Recommended Test Procedure. All the results of all tests and requirements denoted by a “should” shall be noted, but failure to comply will not constitute failure to pass the test.

This SAE Information Report describes requirements gathering workshops for Public Sector use of ITS Referencing Datums.

This SAE Standard outlines the US standard for sending Advanced Traveler Information Services (ATIS) messages over various Bandwidth Reduced Media (BRM). It specifies the “over the air” format and method for such data messages at a bit level. The methodology allows a cooperative sharing of the media’s total bandwidth with other non-ATIS data services. It allows for further expansion to other ATIS messages such as transit schedules and weather use. It uses a common directory of messages to divide out those messages which are the subject of this specification from others. It is built upon the concept of “waveform neutrality” in that it can be hosted by a wide variety of media often found in the delivery of wireless data services (although it is also useful for wire line applications). This message set is incorporated into each medium (“host medium”) by a formatting process specific to each media. A graphical overview ofthis process is shown in Figure 1.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to gasoline and diesel fuel filters installed on fuel dispensing equipment, mobile or stationary. It describes a set of tests used to characterize the structural integrity, filtration performance, and reaction to water contaminant with fuel dispensing filters.
