Further, it is possible to evaluate the stuffiness of the occupant seated on the back portion of the car seat, which is accompanied by dampness and heat, and the stuffiness of the whole body comes into contact with the seat back portion and the stuffiness caused by the passenger compartment. Since it can be separated from the stuffiness caused by the parts, it can be determined which factor contributes more to the stuffiness of the whole body, and the air conditioner is controlled or the seat back is provided depending on the contribution. It is possible to control the temperature by controlling the air conditioner.

FIG. 6 shows the relationship between water vapor pressures at both the seat portion and the backrest portion. According to FIG. 6, the correlation coefficient R between the water vapor pressures of the backrest and the seat is 0.8.
As high as 64, the water vapor pressure in the seat tends to increase as the water vapor pressure in the backrest increases. This result suggests that either the backrest portion or the seat portion may be evaluated for the stuffiness of the contact portion between the occupant and the seat depending on the water vapor pressure. As a result of comparing the two parts, since the water vapor pressure tends to be higher in the backrest portion, in the present embodiment, the water vapor pressure in the contact portion between the occupant and the seat back portion is used to determine the contact portion between the seat back portion and the seat back portion. We decided to evaluate the stuffiness, but of course the temperature and humidity of the contact area between the occupant and the seat of the seat were detected to calculate the water vapor pressure at the contact area with the seat, and the stuffiness of the contact area with the seat area was calculated. Feeling may be evaluated by comparing the vapor pressures of the backrest and seat, and the vapor pressure of the larger one, or the average of the vapor pressures of both parts, to determine the stuffiness of the contact area between the occupant and the seat. It goes without saying that you can evaluate it. Even in this case, it is judged whether the stuffy feeling of the whole body contributes much to the passenger compartment, the seat back portion, or the seat portion of the seat, the air conditioner is controlled, the seat back portion and the seat portion are controlled. You may make it control the temperature by controlling the cooling / heating device provided in the seat part.

Further, in the above, the estimated value M of stuffiness of the whole body is calculated.
Although t, the estimated steaminess value Ms in the passenger compartment and the estimated steaminess value Mc in the contact portion are calculated according to the equations (1), (5), and (6), the present invention is not limited to these equations. Instead of this, an optimal formula according to the region and environmental conditions obtained by experiments, an appropriate formula according to the age of the occupant, sex, etc., or a simplified formula may be used.
