摘要：AbstractOne of the main concerns of automobile manufacturers is the optimization of cars conceiving. For this reason the integration of clients’ perceptions in the manufacturing process is an important aspect of product development. This paper aims to study the perception of young drivers over the elements of discomfort that occur while driving a vehicle. 40 subjects, young drivers (technical university students) participated in the study and were investigated in connection with the main elements of discomfort experienced in the car. Valuation of discomfort was based on descriptions of study participants, descriptions in which they were asked to specify what they perceive as discomfort in the car. On one hand, the results show us a representation of what does discomfort for young drivers mean, and on the other hand, it shows the important role that the thermal factor has in assessing comfort / discomfort in the vehicle.
