| The aim of the study on pressure comfort during tunnel travel is to investigate the effect of pressure changes during tunnel travel on the comfort rating. To determine the comfort rating of a tunnel passage, comfort ratings are first queried at randomized intervals during the tunnel passage using a 7-step response scale. The comfort rating of the tunnel is aggregated from the individual ratings. | — |
