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.
