Abstract

The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) for calculating the temperature T in a driver's compartment (2) of a vehicle. The arrangement (1) incorporates a temperature sensor (4) arranged in a duct (5) and means (6) designed to allow an air flow from said driver's compartment (2) to pass through said duct (5), and said temperature sensor (4) is designed to measure a first temperature level T1 of said airflow. Said means (6) are also designed to halt said air flow for a period of time and said temperature sensor (4) is designed to measure, towards the end of said period of time, a second temperature level T2. The temperature T is calculated on the basis of said first temperature level T1 and said second temperature level T2.
