Improve vehicle occupant comfort and cabin climate performance
ACE provides objective, repeatable thermal comfort measurements under real-world vehicle operating conditions. A poseable sensor manikin, modular environmental and conductive sensors, and advanced data acquisition tools capture high-fidelity thermal data throughout the cabin, helping engineers evaluate occupant comfort, optimize HVAC performance, and validate CFD and thermal simulation models. Translation: Faster development cycles, more confident design decisions, and improved occupant comfort across a wide range of operating conditions.
Highlights
- Advanced sensor manikin. 56+ integrated sensing locations—including 46 environmental sensor modules, 8 conductive contact sensors, and 2 palm sensors—capture high-resolution thermal measurements throughout the occupant environment.
- Modular measurement anywhere. Deploy sensor modules on the manikin, throughout the cabin, or on human subjects to characterize thermal conditions wherever data is needed.
- Test-to-simulation workflow. Connect physical measurements with TAITherm and ManikinPC models to accelerate development, reduce design iterations, and improve confidence in virtual predictions.
