Research of Requirements Constraints in Automotive Projects

Abstract Communication of electronic peripheral components which often undergo a changing process within the car environment is a great challenge during the late phases of automotive projects. The challenge derives from the varying communication protocols and releases of new gadgets which have to connect to the electronic components of the car. Integrating new peripheral equipment into the car's environment, like new telephones, while having to stick to the agreed project milestones, will lead to contradictory discussions between the clients and suppliers regarding implementation of the new protocols. This paper analyzes and identifies the constraints along the process chain and generates the possibility to create time buffers for implementing the new market demanded requirements.
