Hohenstein measures & optimizes vehicle seat comfort

Moisture sensors between measuring surface and test object provide reliable information about the buffer effect of the seat cover. The device also measures how much water vapour the seating material can transport away from the body within a certain period of time and under defined ambient conditions.

Apart from vehicle seats for passenger cars and HGVs, the Hohenstein Institutes’ laboratory tests are basically also suitable for determining the comfort properties of other seating systems, for example in public transport vehicles such as buses, trains or aeroplanes.

The validity of the obtained laboratory measurement data was confirmed through correlation of numerous trials with test subjects. In over four decades of research in the field of clothing physiology, the Hohenstein Institutes have carried out seating comfort trials with human test subjects who assessed different seating designs by using a vehicle simulator in a climate chamber.
