URBANIZED D2.1: Mission profiles, KPIs, assessment plan, List of vehicle requirements, design specifications and shared interfaces

The URBANIZED project develops and demonstrates the next generation of modular vehicle architectures for urban commercial e-vehicles, satisfying design principles of optimisation and right-sizing vehicles for their mission. Work package 2 of the URBANIZED project provides the requirements, key performance indicators (KPI) and design specifications on which the design and implementation of the demonstrator vehicle in the project will be based. Furthermore, this work package describes the steps that will be executed for assessing if the developed demonstrator vehicle meets these requirements and specifications. Finally, in this WP the a priori risk assessment on project level is executed. This risk assessment will be updated during the project and the a posteriori results will be presented in M30 with an update of this deliverable. For the development of the requirements, KPI's and assessment steps, a template has been constructed. This template covers the most relevant requirements' attributes used in requirements engineering and is used by all partners involved in the requirements development in this work package. The mission profile requirements, describing how the vehicle will be used by the two end users in the project, BPost and Coffee Island, are developed by TNO, together with these end users and other partners of the project. Using a road profile generator tool, customer information about their current delivery vehicles is translated into a road profile, which will be used in combination with ALKE's knowledge of existing customer needs for further design and optimization throughout this project The KPI's that will be used in the project to assess the performance on fleet level are also covered in the mission profile requirements. Based on the mission profile requirements, the vehicle requirements have been set by Alke together with BPost and Coffee Island, as well as other partners of the project. The vehicle requirements have been aligned with the mission profile requirements such that the resulting vehicle design will meet the expectations of the end users. The vehicle requirements cover the performance and design aspects of the different parts of the vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle requirements include the KPI's that have been defined in the project on vehicle level. For all vehicle requirements and KPI's, the assessment activities that will be carried out during the project are described also in this document. From the vehicle level requirements, the design specifications for the vehicle components are derived by Alke together with the partners involved in the component design. These design specifications contain the detailed requirement for the vehicle modules and components, such as the front and rear part of the vehicle, the vehicle drivetrain and the modular cargo body. Finally, a risk analysis has been executed, where project risks on technical, legal, behavioural and organisational level are analysed. This is done by using the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). For the medium and high-level risks, mitigation steps are defined in order to adequately deal with these risks throughout the project. The risks have been defined and analysed by the partners who have participated at the requirements identification. In total 169 risks have been identified and mitigation strategies have been proposed for 55 of them, which are of moderate or severe importance.
