Abstract
System (100) comprising a computer (105) with a processor and a data storage (106), wherein the data storage (106) stores instructions executable by the computer (105) to: to collect data (115) about a skin reaction characteristic from a vehicle occupant; based on the data (115) to determine a target temperature for the passenger compartment; and to adjust an air conditioning system based on the desired temperature of the passenger compartment, wherein the data (115) comprise a skin temperature measured by a portable device (140) and a galvanic response of the skin measured by the portable device (140), wherein the portable device (140) measures the skin temperature and the galvanic response of the skin and determines the target temperature of the passenger compartment based on a most recent measurement of at least one of the skin temperature and the galvanic response of the skin.
