Nástroj pro správné generování konfigurací automobilů se závislými komponentami

Abstract

This work is focused on perfoming a detailed analysis of individual elements of car configurators, design of a flexible format used for saving data obtained from car manufacturers and~implementation of a configuration system.

A total of 20 car manufacturers were part of the analysis of available configuration options. The main focus of the analysis was a comparison of available functionality and control schemes, graphical design and required data of car configurators. The analysis serves as~a~basis for a~design of a data structure, which (with certain necessary compromises) allows for~the~unification of~configuration data of~car manufacturers with often very different approaches to~vehicle configuration. The designed data structure was used with the help of a created tool used for~downloading \mbox{necessary} data directly from car manufacturers and conversion of that data into~the~aforementioned data structure. Last but not least, a web application allowing for~configuring cars and~validation of dependencies of individual components was also created.

The contributions of this work are as follows: analysis and comparison of existing solutions used in car configurators, design of a data structure used for saving configuration data and also the creation of an algorithm which solves the issues of~configuration changes where components with dependencies are used.
