Fuzzy logic control method of HVAC equipment for optimization of passengers´ thermal comfort in public electric transport vehicles

The research goal is the development and investigation of the recommendations and practically applicable methods for an evaluation of the public transport passengers´ thermal comfort and for an automatic application of this evaluation in adjusting the parameters of the passenger compartment´s environment. In the research, for improving thermal comfort of the public electric transport´s passengers, the methodology determining passenger´s satisfaction with thermal comfort using the fuzzy logic controller, and the method of an automatic adjustment of thermal parameters´ setpoint, carried out in passenger compartments and based on an evaluation of passenger satisfaction, are designed.
