Disclosed is a transportation container blower for mortality prevention and welfare during livestock transportation, comprising: a body connected to a transportation means and having a space in which livestock is accommodated therein and a first blowing port formed at each of lower portions of both sides thereof to be opened; a blowing path installed at an upper end of the body to be long in a longitudinal direction thereof and having a second blowing port which is in communication with an inside of the body and formed at a lower end or a side surface thereof; and a blowing means installed at the body and connected to the blowing path.

An indoor air quality control system, including a plurality of fixed detectors, an unmanned vehicle platform and a cloud computing platform. The fixed detectors detect the indoor air quality at respective designated positions in an indoor area. The unmanned vehicle platform moves along a designated route in the indoor area. When an index corresponding to the indoor air quality at a designated position reaches an air pollution warning value, a processing unit of the unmanned vehicle platform controls the unmanned vehicle platform to move towards a corresponding one of the designated positions and controls an air cleaning device on the unmanned vehicle platform to perform air cleaning. The cloud computing platform receives the indoor air quality detected by the respective fixed detectors and the mobile air quality detected by a mobile detector on the unmanned vehicle platform over the Internet.

The present disclosure extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for controlling climate in vehicle cabins. A person may provide climate related data to a vehicle climate control system prior to pick up and/or during a ride in the vehicle. The climate control system may adjust the climate in at least part of a vehicle cabin based at least in part on the climate related data and configuration of components in the climate control system. Climate control adjustments can be used to precondition part of a vehicle cabin for a person and/or in response to indicated thermal discomfort of the person. The climate control system can refer to an occupant comfort model and compute climate adjustments in accordance with the occupant comfort model.
