Field Measurement of Air Velocity and Temperature Factors that Influence the Thermal Comfort in Shuttle Bus

Good public transportation that can offer a pleasant peaceful and relaxing environment is necessary for improving people's interest in using it. Thermal comfort is determined in this study by measuring the air velocity and temperature of the air-conditioning from the outlet. Both data are taken...
