The Comfort Design for Civil Aircraft Cabin Using Ergonomics Theory

Abstract

In order to improve the comfort of civil aircraft cabin, the cabin comfort system is built in this research based on the ergonomics theory and considering the influence of cabin environment, facilities, configuration, etc. In this process, filtrating and classification for the indexes which mainly influence the comfort are conducted, weight value setting is completed according to the analytic hierarchy process method and the quantify score for all the indexes is pushed. Finally, the results of cabin comfort evaluation are obtained. The case analysis results verify the effectiveness of the method. To sum up, based on this method proposal in this research, the main factors that can influence the comfort of the cabin are obtained, the comfort factors of the cabin are quantized and analysed, and last, these research results could direct the cabin comfort design.
