- Abstract
The article presents research on the development of heat-protective adaptation clothing with an automated system of thermal comfort control for people with reduced mobility, who move with the help of wheelchairs. Due to the paralysis of the lower limbs, people in this population are at greater risk of frostbite in the cold season. These clothes are designed to protect against negative ambient temperatures. Flexible carbon fibre plates were used as sources of additional heating. In order to control and monitor the temperature of the undercover space, an automated thermal comfort management system was developed inside the product. Temperature control is carried out by means of software on a smartphone. This type of clothing will increase the thermal and operational comfort, as well as the safety of people with disabilities in the presence of negative temperatures while increasing the time period.
