Alternative Technique for Dynamic Evaluation of Vehicle’s Thermal Comfort

The methodology consisted in comparing two different techniques for dynamic evaluation of vehicle’s thermal comfort, using the obtained data from a relatively simple thermal stress equipment (ISO 7243) and correlating it to the results from a complex dedicated thermal comfort equipment (ISO 7730 - ISO 14505). Therefore, it was necessary to add sensors and develop a new program using the algorithm provided by the standard. The results showed that it is possible to use this correlation with good approximation for a quick analysis, with simpler instrumentation, reduced complexity and lower cost of the measurement.
