Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for managing cabin conditions. A fogging metric and a breath temperature metric are determined. A control signal response is generated based on the fogging metric and the breath temperature metric. The system facilitates modification to the operation control of the at least one climate control device based on the control signal response.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, using control circuitry, a first response based on a fogging metric for an interior of a vehicle;
- determining, using the control circuitry, a second response based on a breath temperature metric associated with one or more passengers within the interior based on a radiant temperature, an air temperature for the interior, and a convection metric for the interior, wherein the radiant temperature is based on a windshield temperature and a cabin temperature;
- generating, using the control circuitry, and based on a maximum response among the first response and the second response, a control signal response to modify an operational control of at least one climate control device associated with the vehicle;
- and
- facilitating modification to the operational control of the at least one climate control device based on the control signal response.
A system comprising:
- at least one climate control device of a vehicle;
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine a first response based on a fogging metric for an interior of the vehicle;
- determine a second response based on a breath temperature metric associated with one or more passengers within the interior based on a radiant temperature, an air temperature for the interior, and a convection metric for the interior, wherein the radiant temperature is based on a windshield temperature and a cabin temperature;
- generate, based on a maximum response among the first response and the second response, a control signal response to modify an operational control of the at least one climate control device;
- and
- facilitate modification to the operational control of the at least one climate control device based on the control signal response.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to:
- determine a first response based on a fogging metric for an interior of a vehicle;
- determine a second response based on a breath temperature metric associated with one or more passengers within the interior based on a radiant temperature, an air temperature for the interior, and a convection metric for the interior, wherein the radiant temperature is based on a windshield temperature and a cabin temperature;
- generate, based on a maximum response among the first response and the second response, a control signal response to modify an operational control of at least one climate control device associated with the vehicle;
- and
- facilitate modification to the operational control of the at least one climate control device based on the control signal response.
