###### Abstract
Besides the air temperature, at this point, additional essential parameters were determined for the entire experimental space: indoor air temperature, visibility, oxygen concentration, and carbon dioxide concentration. It has been found that, if the ventilation rate increases, the indoor temperatures at that specific point decrease, and the sprinkler is activated later. Indeed, in some cases, it might never be activated. However, this conclusion is not valid for the entire analyzed space, as the ventilation system alongside the natural air movement imposes specific air speed and specific temperature distribution inside the analyzed space. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [14] propose an analysis method to assess the efficiency of the planned emergency strategy (coupled operation, ventilation systems-PSDs system) in the instance of a train, on fire, stopping at the platform of a subway station retrofitted with platform screen doors. The approach is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) full-scale simulations to predict the airflow, temperature, and pollutant (carbon monoxide--CO; carbon dioxide--CO2) concentrations caused by the fire. The results show the evident contribution of PSDs in stopping the dispersion of hot and polluted air in the subway station during the entire simulation time (20 min from the arrival of the train on fire). Consequently, the investigated emergency strategy (exhausting air both through the \"over track system\" and the \"under platform system\", simultaneously with the opening of the PSDs on the side with the train on fire) assures the safe evacuation of passengers as soon as they have left the subway train. The results indicate that access to the platform is not perturbed by high temperatures or dangerous concentrations of CO and CO2. Among the factors that influence the resilience and sustainability of cities in general, and of inhabited spaces in particular, extreme temperatures and, for people in particular, thermal comfort are both elements that should be considered. This problem includes all the aspects of comfort for users of inhabited spaces in both buildings and vehicles. The purpose of the paper [15] is to present the details of a recently designed and created thermal manikin that comprises 79 superficial zones with independent neuro-fuzzy temperature regulation. Both the component parts of the manikin and the acceptance strategy are described. Flexible heating elements were used to control the temperature, on which five digital sensors are positioned. In order to establish the relationship between heat loss and ambient temperature, the thermal manikin was calibrated in a climatic chamber. The thermal manikin was able to predict local sensations through the equivalent temperature concept of the so-called predicted mean vote. The manikin has valuable applications, such as in the case of validating CFD models like the ones dedicated to the dynamics of airflows around the human body. This topic has gained a great deal of attention the pandemic context. Paper [16] is related to this issue. Indeed, in the last decade, there has been an increase in the ease and affordability of air travel in terms of mobility for people globally. Airplane passengers may experience different risks of contracting airborne infectious diseases onboard aircraft, such as influenza or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2), due to nonuniform airflow patterns inside airplane cabins or potential proximity to an infected person. In this paper, a novel approach for reducing the risk of contracting airborne infectious diseases is presented that uses a low-momentum personalized ventilation system with a protective role against airborne pathogens. Numerical simulations, supported by nonintrusive experimental measurements for validation purposes, were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
