The optimal initial pre-conditioning parameter is essential to properly adjust the temperature within the cabin in an effective and accurate way, especially while passengers' thermal comfort and energy-saving properties are both considered. Under the various environmental thermal loads, the pre-conditioning solutions resulting from those pre-fixed cooling parameters are unfeasible for achieving accurately passengers' comfort temperature. In addition, it is also difficult in such a narrow car space to identify a lot of local attributes due to the different material properties and sizes of a variety of structural parts that have various thermal responses to environmental conditions. This paper presents a data-driven decision model to numerically identify the degrees of the cabin thermal characteristic to determine satisfactory pre-conditioning parameter schemes. Initially, based on the thermal data within a vehicle recorded through the whole year at a selected hot climate region of the Middle East, the study levels multiple climate scenes corresponding to change in the cabin air temperature. Then three classification algorithms (Support Vector Machines, Decision Tree, and K-nearest neighbor model) are used to comparatively identify climate levels according to the input conditions. Based on the identified climate level, an appropriate parameters scheme for this level is applied. A comprehensive evaluation index (CEI) is proposed to characterize the passengers' satisfaction in numerical computation, on considering multi-satisfaction objectives including Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), local temperature, air quality, and energy efficiency; and it formulates the pre-conditioning parameter scheme for each climate scene with CEI. Several scene cases are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed models. The result shows that the pre-conditioning schemes of the model can effectively satisfy passengers in multi-satisfaction objectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Modeling algorithms for human thermal sensation integrating physiological responses. • The change rate reveals TS and avoids the inconsistency of raw physiological levels. • CRPR and CRMAP are significantly different in warm chamber than in the cool. • Case analysis verifies feasibility of proposed thermal sensation model with 0.8 R 2. Background and Objectives: Thermal conditions are changeable in cabin space, where occupants could suffer consecutive self-thermoregulation to such changing thermal stresses. Thermal environment management is expected to be purposefully auto-adjustable for the environment by recognizing individual real-time thermal sensations. Current thermal sensation evaluation models are developed for virtual simulations rather than for realistic scenarios, challenging to evaluate human thermal sensation in the field surveys. Methods: The study constructs a human thermal sensation model via human physiological responses to evaluate the human thermal sensation in the actual vehicle environment. The thermal sensation model forms with exponential functions to clarify the relationship between thermal sensation and pulse rate and blood pressure, which successfully expresses the approximately linear trend around neutral sensation and compensates for the end-points bias. The study set up experimental cases to determine the parameter states in the thermal sensation model. Firstly, subjective thermal sensation scoring was performed by combing with an established seven-point-scale questionnaire survey system for human thermal sensation. Wearable sensors are then applied to measure the human physiological response, including blood pressure B P , pulse rate P R and blood oxygen saturation S p O 2. Results: The subjects revealed significantly higher pulse rates (positively correlated) and lower blood pressure (negatively correlated) in the warm chamber than in the cool chamber. The defined parameter change rate effectively reveals the trend of human thermal sensation and avoids the inconsistency of raw physiological response levels. The change rate in P R and M A P between the thermal sensation in cold -3 and hot +3 is about a 10% difference. Conclusions: Based on the thermal sensation model algorithm, model parameters were fitted by the subjects' thermal sensation voting and the change rate of their physiological responses. With the coefficient of determination (R 2) of the regression over 0.8, the proposed thermal sensation model can be employed for human thermal sensation evaluation. The physiological thermoregulatory responses effectively indicate the thermal state of the human body and can be used in thermal environments in conjunction with human smart wearable devices.
