Dumur, Eliane, Barnard, Yvonne and Boy, Guy A. (2004): Design for Comfort. In: Ward, D. de, Brookhuis, K. A. and Weikert, C. M. "Human Factors in Design". Shaker Publishing pp. 111-127

“In this paper human factors in designing of a more comfortable aircraft cabin for passengers are described. Comfort is a complex concept, consisting of both objective ergonomics requirements and subjective impressions. Elements of comfort can be described by four different models: 1) The passenger bubble, in which the passenger is isolated from disturbances and can pursue his/her own activities; 2) The health model, where the focus is on absence of discomfort, potential health dangers and annoyance, and on physical well-being; 3) The community model, in which passengers belong to a public-transport group, who communicate and share common experiences; 4) The aesthetic economical model, in which comfort is perceived as being in an interesting, advanced and beautiful environment, for a reasonable price. All these models put different requirements on the passengers’ environment, sometimes overlapping, but sometimes also conflicting. In order to support designing for comfort, we present a model in which these requirements can be combined based on cognitive function analysis. Four principles are identified that should guide design: affordance, situational awareness, individualisation and customisation, and variability and flexibility. The paper concludes with a discussion on the design process.”
