Elicitation of decision parameters for thermal comfort on the trains

We present in this paper a real world application for the elicitation of decision parameters used in the evaluation of thermal comfort in high speed trains. The model representing the thermal comfort is a hierarchical one and we propose to use different aggregation methods for different levels of the model. The methods used are rule-based aggregation, Electre Tri and 2-additive Choquet. We show...

The high and low comfort peaks in passengers' flight.

BACKGROUND Knowing the high and low peaks in comfort during a flight could be useful in prioritizing aircraft interior improvements. OBJECTIVE The first objective of this study was to identify whether there are differences in comfort experiences during different phases of a flight. The second objective of this study was to identify similarities between recalled and real time reported comfort ...

Evaluation of Global Comfort for Train Passengers

The aim of this study is to propose a method for the evaluation of railway passengers’ comfort in relationship to temperature, noise, and vibration. Estimated the single comfort for every sensation considered, the global comfort is evaluated with the Hyper-Sphere Method proposed by Corriere & Lo Bosco [1]. The humanvehicle-infrastructure-environment variables which influence comfort are individ...

Comfort studies of rail passengers.
