METHOD FOR MONITORING AN AIR-CONDITIONED PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF A VEHICLE, AND AIR-CONDITIONING ARRANGEMENT FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH A METHOD

A method monitors a passenger compartment of a vehicle for transporting passengers with respect to heat stress that occurs to passengers. The method includes the steps of: a) calculating an estimated value for the WBGT index in the passenger compartment on the basis of measured values which are signaled to an evaluation unit by a sensor arrangement, and b) signaling a dangerous heat stress level for the passengers on the basis of calculations and monitoring of the WBGT index.
