Michael, Michalis (author), Overend, M. (author)In its simplest form, a Closed Cavity Façade (CCF) consists of a double or triple glazing unit (DGU or TGU) on the inner layer and single glazing on the outer one, forming a sealed non-ventilated cavity with an automated shading device in between. Given its dynamic behaviour, this technology can dynamically control the flow of solar energy...journal article 2022

Mirakhorlo, M. (author), Kluft, N. (author), Desai, R.R. (author), Cvetković, M. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Happee, R. (author)In future automated vehicles we will often engage in non-driving tasks and will not watch the road. This will affect postural stabilization and may elicit discomfort or even motion sickness in dynamic driving. Future vehicles will accommodate this with properly designed seats and interiors, whereas comfortable vehicle motion will be achieved...journal article 2022

Vink, P. (author), Frohriep, Susanne (author), Mansfield, Neil (author), Naddeo, Alessandro (author), Jacobs, Karen (author)Various aspects related to comfort are described in this special issue. Some papers are focused on the environment, like smell, temperature, light, acoustics, space and some on an artefact touching the human, like the floor angle, the seat, a bed and light. However, in this special issue also topics like modelling and behavior get more...contribution to periodical 2021

Anjani, S. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Recent research indicated that an 18′′ ×30′′ aircraft seat resulted in nearly the same level of comfort as a 17′′ ×34′′ seat. However, it took less space in the floor plan. OBJECTIVES: This study explores seat layouts preferred by experts regarding different criteria. Those results of the experts are later compared to layouts...journal article 2021

Liu, Z. (author), Rotte, T.A. (author), Anjani, S. (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Staggered seats are a solution for the Flying-V aircraft, where the cabin's longitudinal axis has a 26 degrees angle with respect to the direction of flight, to compensate for an otherwise oblique sitting position. However, little is known on acceptable pitches in this staggered configuration. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this research...journal article 2021

Van Oort, N. (author), Drost, M. (author), Brands, T. (author), Yap, M. (author)The most important aspects on which passengers base their choice whether to travel by public transport are the perceived travel time, costs, reliability and comfort. Despite its importance, comfort is often not explicitly considered when predicting demand for public transport. In this paper, we include comfort level in a modelling framework by...conference paper 2015
