Fuzzy-timing Petri net model of temperature control for car air conditioning system
Keiichi WATANUKI, Tadao Murata · 2003
This paper proposes a fuzzy-timing Petri net method for distributed temperature control to achieve optimum air temperatures inside a car, considering the comfort of each passenger. The optimum HVAC control has been applied to a car air conditioning system, and a fuzzy controller is used to independently control temperatures at various locations inside the car, considering each passenger's comfort temperature level and the air velocity at each seat. We have conducted experiments and confirmed that our method is useful for distributed temperature control in a car.
