Abstract

To evaluate a thermal environment in the vehicle where air temperature is high and solar radiation is strong, new method has been developed by combining the measurement by thermal manikin and the theoretical thermo-regulation model. New effective temperature SET* which includes the effects of perspiration is introduced for the evaluation factor. Details of method and the successful results applied for evaluating and predicting comfort in the vehicle are shown.
