Abstract :
We have developed a simulation tool that can evaluate the comfort using a computer mannequin. We also have developed a cardiovascular model that can predict blood pressure and heart rate as determined by physical activity. The predicted blood pressure and heart rate agreed well with the actual blood pressure and heart rate in the experiments.
