Application of Pugh Selection Matrix for Fuel Level Sensing Technology Selection

Technology selection is one of the most important step in Design Process. Choosing the right technology alternative, there is not always a single definite criterion of selection, and decision makers have to take into account a large number of criteria including technological, economic, ethical, political, legal, and social factors. The proper technology selection for Fuel Level Sensor using Pugh Selection Matrix for its application in Heavy Commercial Vehicles is discussed in this paper. In this paper, factors affecting sensor technology selection are identified. Various level sensing technologies are compared across these criteria using Pugh Selection Matrix. The entire procedure is illustrated and finally the best technology is selected for fuel level sensing for Heavy Commercial Vehicles.
