Summary:

SAE J1100 - Motor Vehicle Dimensions was first published in September 1973. One of the many significant aspects of this recommended practice is that it provides procedures for estimating cargo/luggage volume in various types of vehicles. Passenger vehicles typically carry cargo in one of two areas: those that are separate from the passenger compartment and those that are open to the passenger compartment.Due to the flexibility of carrying either people or cargo, open compartment volumes are more challenging to quantify. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide guidance and explanation of how SAE J1100 metrics are applied to open compartment vehicles (closed compartment metrics are not discussed). The paper also expands upon the rationale in the SAE document and demonstrates the principles by example. This will result in a more accurate and uniform reporting of cargo volumes determined by these methods
