Original Abstract

This paper describes a method for the automatic design of vehicle silhouettes. Along history many different vehicles have been created, but most of them share the same features. We can extract these features through statistical analysis (principal component analysis) and use them for building the shape of a vehicles silhouette. To produce the new original silhouettes we utilize optimization method (a genetic algorithm) which fits the new silhouette to the prescribed physical conditions, e.g. space for the engine, space for the passengers etc. This algorithm serves as a source of inspiration for human designers and can be generalized to producing arbitrary kind of products.
