The Seat Test Automotive Manikin (STAN) evaluates the thermal comfort and moisture management of automobile seating. The basic STAN system fits many common vehicle seats, though user-specified custom contact profiles can be created. Heaters, temperature sensors and optional sweating inserts with fluid supply system simulate human metabolic levels. The location and number of sweating inserts can be varied to obtain specific regional data. All systems include a dedicated PC computer with ThermDAC software.
