Gentherm Works With ThermoAnalytics to Advance Human Thermal Comfort Predictions

By AIT News Desk On Jul 2, 2020

Gentherm, a global market leader and developer of innovative thermal management technologies, and ThermoAnalytics, Inc., a leading thermal modeling software development firm, announced the companies’ joint efforts in developing advanced software to improve human thermal comfort predictions.

There is an increased need and demand from consumers to provide a personalized experience when they enter a vehicle. Individual comfort varies from person to person, and the year-long partnership resulted in the development of new and improved software solutions that can accurately predict an individual’s personalized comfort and wellness.

The collaboration improved upon existing abilities to predict passenger comfort by modeling the human body in the cabin of the vehicle to increase the number of body parts measured. The partnership moved beyond thermal comfort predictions to include the effects of moisture on human comfort. This is the first-time software will have the ability to predict comfort and discomfort caused by sweat from the human body.
