Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for estimating a temperature of a cabin of a vehicle and using the estimated cabin temperature. The methods and systems obtain, via at least one temperature sensor, a surface temperature of at least a first internal surface of the cabin of the vehicle. The methods and systems estimate, via a processor and using at least the obtained surface temperature, the heat transfer from the at least one surface to cabin air within the cabin. The methods and systems estimate, via a processor and using at least the estimated heat transfer, the cabin temperature of the vehicle. The methods and systems use the estimated cabin temperature of the vehicle to control at least one feature of an air conditioning module of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of providing automatic climate control. A set point temperature input setting may be read. A cabin equivalent homogeneous temperature, computed real-time, may be compared to the set point temperature. A control value may be determined to equalize the cabin equivalent homogeneous temperature with the set point temperature.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a climate control system of a vehicle are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: determining a solar azimuth angle curve associated with point of interest; determining at least one intersection point between the azimuth angle curve and at least one line that defines at least one edge of a transparent element of the vehicle; determining whether the point of interest is shaded or not shaded based on the at least one intersection point; and automatically controlling the climate control system based on the determination of whether the point of interest is shaded or not shaded.

Abstract: Vehicles and methods for controlling climate control systems are provided. The vehicle, for example, may include, but is not limited to at least one seat, a climate control system, and a controller communicatively coupled to the climate control system, wherein the controller is configured to, calculate a directional sun effect for each of the at least one seats, and modify at least one of an airflow, a temperature and air distribution of the climate control system based upon the calculated directional sun effect for each of the at least one seats.
