Rezumat: Lucrarea de fata trateaza un subiect actual si important, cel al confortului termic in interiorul autovehiculelor.Lucrarea isi propune ca si obiectiv imbunatatirea confortului termic in interiorul autovehiculului, prin dezvoltarea de noi abordari, tehnici de monitorizare a confortului termic, precum si prin conceperea si realizarea unui sistem CAN (Controller Area Network) de estimare a nivelului de confort termic in automobile. Pentru evaluarea confortului termics-a utilizat metoda ASHRAE 55-92, metoda ISO 7730 si metoda bazata pe indicele de incalzire HI (Heat Index).

Cuvinte cheie: comfort termic, temperatura, umiditate, CAN.

Abstract: This paper is focussed on the thermal comfort issues inside the vehicle. The main objective of this paper consists in improving the thermal comfort inside the vehicle. In this regard were developed new approaches of thermal comfort monitoring techniques and was designed and implemented a CAN (Controller Area Network) system in order to estimate the level of thermal comfort in vehicles. The evaluation of the level of thermal comfort was realized using the ASHRAE 55-1992 method, ISO 7730 method and a method based on the heat index HI (Heat Index).

Keywords: thermal comfort, temerature, humidity, CAN.
