Climate Control

A method, comprising:

• performing, by at least one computer system:
• determining a set of climate conditions associated with a cabin region of an interior cabin of a vehicle which is occupied by at least one occupant, based at least in part upon a set of input data received from one or more data sources;
• determining, based at least in part upon the set of climate conditions associated with the cabin region occupied by the at least one occupant, an optimal set of climate conditions which comprises an optimal cabin region temperature perceptible by the at least one occupant and a set of climate condition thresholds associated with the at least one occupant;
• and
• generating a set of output commands to control one or more vehicle components to change the set of climate conditions associated with at least the cabin region, within the set of climate condition thresholds, to approximate the optimal cabin region temperature perceptible by the at least one occupant.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing a program of instructions which, when executed by at least one computer system, causes the at least one computer system to:

• associate at least one cabin region of a vehicle cabin with an optimal occupant-perceptible cabin region temperature and a set of climate condition thresholds of at least one set of climate conditions which are separate from cabin region temperature;
• determine, based on the optimal occupant-perceptible cabin region temperature and set of climate condition thresholds, an output configuration of one or more sets of vehicle components which adjusts climate conditions in the at least one cabin region according to one or more control mode priorities;
• and
• generate a set of output commands to the one or more sets of vehicle components to change the set of climate conditions in the at least one cabin region according to the determined output configuration.
