AUTOMATED DRIVER CABIN CLIMATE CONTROL

The method involves detecting actual temperature of air in an operator's cabin by a sensor. Characteristics e.g. volume flow, direction and temperature, of the air supplied to the cabin are automatically controlled based on the actual temperature and a target temperature. The target temperature is automatically determined for a number of mutually spaced cabin locations based on a variable that affects a thermal comfort of a cabin staff. Instruction for achieving a target state is indicated to the cabin staff. The variable is selected from a group consisting of an air temperature outside of the cabin, a thermal radiation to that the cabin staff is exposed, a flow velocity of the cabin air, a humidity of the cabin air, a metabolic heat production of the cabin staff and a heat insulation of a clothing worn by the cabin staff. An independent claim is also included for a climate control device.
