Background: A quantitative comfort model will aid in evaluating comfort levels of various target groups before the actual flight of an airplane. However, constructing the model is always a challenge due to the complexity of the phenomenon.
Objectives: In this paper, we present quantitative comfort models to predict the (dis)comfort of passengers flying with turboprops based on objective measures.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers investigated how accurately people in the Netherlands report their height and weight, which is important for ergonomics.
- Participants tended to overreport their height by about 1.31 cm and underreport their weight by approximately 1.45 kg, especially among individuals with a BMI of 25 or higher.
- Two models were developed to help ergonomic researchers adjust self-reported data, though the study also noted some limitations of these models.
