Cabin Air Quality and Measuring Methods

Car Cabin Air Quality Sensors and Systems

It is not surprising that air quality in vehicle cabins is usually found to be worse than that typically found in homes or workplaces, especially when so many exhaust pipes are only inches away from adjacent vehicles. Pollutants find their way into the cabin via the ventilation system, also known as the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. Independent studies [1–3] have show...

Perception of Cabin Air Quality among Drivers and Passengers

Air analysis inside vehicles is a problem that can be interpreted from several perspectives. This research is oriented towards the perception of air quality within a car, regarding a situation of cars in stationary traffic. Carbon dioxide measurements were made using a Trotec Data Logger Air Quality CO2 BZ30 machine inside different standing vehicles with up to five occupants, with and without ...

Investigation of Gas Sensors for Vehicle Cabin Air Quality Monitoring

Car cabin air quality monitoring can effectively he analysed using metal oxide semiconducting (MOS) gas sensors. In this paper, commercially available gas sensors are compared with fabricated Mo03-Ti02 and Moo3WO3 thin films. The laboratory tests showed that the Moo3 based sensors possessed comparable gas sensing properties. The Mo03(75%)-Ti02(25%) sensor has a response 74% higher relative to t...

Analysis of Indoor Air Quality and Development of New Air Cleaner for Railroad Passenger Cabin

Cabin air contamination problems in jet aircraft.

A IR or atmospheric pollution problems have increased many fold during the past few decades. Air pollution and its control have grown t o become factors of tremendous importance to the economy and health of many industrialized and urbanized communities. Air pollution has been defined as the excessive concentration of foreign matter in the air which adversely affects the well being of the indivi...
