Thermal subjective sensations of motorcyclists

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2013
The purpose of motorcycle clothing is to protect the motorcyclist not only against weather conditions but also against an unforeseen contact with other objects. Nevertheless, the use of such clothing, especially in summer, is related to overheating of the motorcyclist's body. Therefore, it would be advisable to ensure that appropriate protection is not

Probit analysis of thermal sensation assessments

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1977
The probit technique for analysis of subjective assessments of thermal sensation is described. It enables transition temperatures from any selected thermal sensation to the adjacent thermal sensation (e.g. from “neutral” to “warm”) to be identified.

Thermal sensation during experimental hypothermia

Physiology & Behavior, 1978
Abstract Ten subjects were cooled to a deep body temperature (TDB)∼35°C by the passage of cold air and water over the skin. Four subjects repeated the exposure on 3 more occasions. Subjective assessments of thermal comfort were recorded using an automated 10 cm line device.

A study of thermal sensation with visuo-thermal projection interfaces

2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE), 2013
In this study, we propose a visuo-thermal projection interface to provide a visible image and a thermal sensation with a distant user for tele-communication. Most previous systems providing a thermal sensation to a user require him/her to touch special devices.

Psychological adaptation to thermal environments and its effects on thermal sensation

Physiology & Behavior, 2022
Psychological adaptation to thermal environments might play an important role in the human thermal comfort. However, effects of psychological thermal adaptation on thermal comfort have been rarely studied. To investigate building occupants' psychological adaptation to indoor climates in hot summer and cold winter, a long-term tracking survey within a ...

Uniformity of stratum-ventilated thermal environment and thermal sensation

Indoor Air, 2014
Three human test series were conducted to evaluate the uniformity of the thermal environments in a stratum-ventilated chamber with dimensions of 8.8 m (L) × 5.1 m (W) × 2.4 m (H). In all, nineteen conditions were generated by adjusting the room temperature, supply airflow rate, and supply terminal type.

Thermal pleasantness sensation: an indicator of thermal stress

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1982
The degree of pleasantness or unpleasantness of thermal sensation aroused by a particular peripheral thermal stimulus has been shown to be an indicator of thermal state of the body in relation to the thermoregulatory set point. This phenomenon is known as thermal alliesthesia.

Thermal Sensation Display with Controllable Thermal Conductivity

2019 20th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems & Eurosensors XXXIII (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXXIII), 2019
We demonstrate a thermal sensation display that can present various thermal sensation by varying the thermal conductivity of the display. Thermal sensation, i.e., cold/cool/warm/hot, is one of the major tactile sensations and needs to be further investigated to advanced VR/AR systems.

Thermal Sensations of Solomon Islanders at Home

Architectural Science Review, 1981
This paper acknowledges the difficulty of taking into account factors, such as thermal comfort in house design, as they can only be assessed in subjective terms. An attempt to solve these Problems was made as part of a field study of indigenous people in a tropical area - in this case the Solomon Islands.
