COMFORT ASSESSMENT IN A VEHICLE

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify the perception of a group of students of a technical University on comfort in cars and to determine if the lack of comfort is estimated to be producing discomfort. 48 subjects, young drivers or passengers participated in the study and were investigated in connection with the main elements of comfort experienced in the car. Valuation of comfort was based on descriptions of study participants, descriptions in which they were asked to specify what they perceive as a car’s elements that produce comfort. On the one hand, the results show us a representation of what does comfort for young drivers mean, and on the contrary, the results indicate that there is variability in terms of items that produce comfort, and whose absence can generate or not, discomfort.
