Ergonomics of the thermal environment — Evaluation of thermal environments in vehicles — Part 4: Determination of the equivalent temperature by means of a numerical manikin

This document provides guidelines for extending the definition of equivalent temperature to predictive purposes and specifies a standard prediction method for the assessment of thermal comfort in vehicles using numerical calculations. Specifically, this document sets forth a simulated numerical manikin as a viable alternative to the thermal manikin for the purpose of calculating the equivalent temperature.
