quality, have the highest priority. The others are regarded as equal.<br />

The weights determine the position <strong>of</strong> the control solution on <strong>an</strong> imaginary pareto<br />

front. A high value, <strong>for</strong> example on the fuel power consumption objective, will lead to<br />

quite a cold experience in winter. There<strong>for</strong>e, a trade-<strong>of</strong>f has to be found <strong>an</strong>d tuned to fit<br />

the desired behaviour. In the exemplary values shown here, passenger related values are<br />

As <strong>for</strong> the boundaries these values c<strong>an</strong> also be ch<strong>an</strong>ged online through control<br />

8.4 User control<br />

The passenger has to be able to adapt the states <strong>of</strong> the cabin air, the temperature <strong>an</strong>d the<br />

humidity, to the desired values. This is achieved indirectly by modifying the humidity ����<br />

<strong>for</strong> the humidity objective (cf. Section 8.1.4) <strong>an</strong>d the metabolism � <strong>for</strong> the temperature<br />

(cf. Section 8.1.2).<br />

The disadv<strong>an</strong>tage <strong>of</strong> this approach is that no direct resulting value c<strong>an</strong> be given<br />

<strong>for</strong> example no direct set-point temperature, which might be unfamiliar to some people.<br />

However, in today’s cars a set temperature will be modified already depending on the
