The report discusses the problems involved in evaluating a passenger's tolerance of discomfort and defining design criteria for comfort. The discussion involves a review of some of the available information on comfort for a wide variety of physical parameters of the vehicle environment, for example, noise, vibration and thermal comfort, as well as a more theoretical consideration of the nature of subjective comfort.
