“…In the first four runs, fresh air was supplied via cabin displacement ventilation (CDV) outlets that had been installed under the passengers' seats. The exhaust air left the cabin through slit-shaped outlets in lateral regions of the ceiling (for a detailed description of the ventilation system see [34]).…”

“…Shading the passenger compartments could be advantageous for ensuring an adequate thermal environment (LESS heat penetration into the cabin from irradiation) in the tropics such as Nigeria; therefore, adequate lighting can be achieved in the train by equipping OLED (organic light-emitting diodes) luminaires. By visual observation, we remark that the trains investigated in the current study were not equipped with OLED luminaires; meanwhile, OLED luminaires are preferred for performance, as suggested by the studies[2,79,80].…”

The adequacy of the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in mass transit microenvironments is crucial to the well-being of exposed commuters. By 2050, many developing tropical countries will host even more megacities, which will feature an increase in people mobility and higher occupancy density. The paucity of IEQ studies, the technology gap, and inadequate policy measures to assure safer and sustainable mobility in many developing tropics have reinforced the current study objective. Also, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the IEQ links and risks to health in transport, which, given the climate peculiarities, transport reforms, and huge commuter traffic in Nigeria, inform the study motivation. The indoor air quality (CO2, PM, VOCs, NO2), thermal, acoustic, and visual environments were objectively assessed in train passenger cabins and waiting areas, during 15 trips in the dry and rainy seasons in Nigeria. The results were analyzed by following the IEQ requirements defined in the ISO, CEN, ASHRAE, and SAE standards. The results indicate gaps in the IAQ (inadequate ventilation in 9 trains), defective thermal comfort (9 trains), exceedance in the PM limit (PM10: 47.9–115 μg/m3, PM2.5: 22.5–51.3 μg/m3), noise (Leq range: 64–85 dBA), and low illuminance levels (10 trains), hence the need for IEQ, interventions, stakeholder awareness, and broader IEQ studies on transport cabins in these regions.

“…Method 3 -some of the studies considered using more features such as ventilation and lighting than vibration [7] to assess the train passenger comfort. Rather than just mechanical attributes, [8] introduced biological parameters such as the variation in heart rate to determine the passenger's comfort.…”
