In military vehicles reliability can sometimes be a more important issue than cost. With that in perspective, this paper discusses the load availability and reliability issues in automotive multiplexed wiring harness systems, which are potentially useful in the military, and compares the same with a regular non-multiplexed system. For that purpose, a figure of merit or metric is introduced, and the load availability is described in terms of this metric, which depends on the architecture chosen.
