A system for controlling air-conditioning of a vehicle includes an input, an offset generator module, and an evaporator temperature control module. The input receives an input temperature. The offset generator module receives a psychrometric parameter of air inside the vehicle and generates offsets
A system for controlling air-conditioning of a vehicle includes an input, an offset generator module, and an evaporator temperature control module. The input receives an input temperature. The offset generator module receives a psychrometric parameter of air inside the vehicle and generates offsets based on the input temperature and the psychrometric parameter. The evaporator temperature control module generates a target evaporator temperature based on the offsets.

1. A system for controlling air-conditioning of a vehicle, comprising: an input that receives an input temperature;an offset generator module that receives a psychrometric parameter of air inside said vehicle and that generates offsets based on said input temperature and said psychrometric parameter
1. A system for controlling air-conditioning of a vehicle, comprising: an input that receives an input temperature;an offset generator module that receives a psychrometric parameter of air inside said vehicle and that generates offsets based on said input temperature and said psychrometric parameter;an evaporator temperature control module that generates a target evaporator temperature based on said offsets; andan air-conditioning (AC) module operative to control a compressor by turning off said compressor when a difference between said psychrometric parameter and a vehicle windshield glass temperature is greater than or equal to a first threshold temperature and by turning on said compressor when a difference between said psychrometric parameter and said glass temperature is less than or equal to a second threshold temperature. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein said psychrometric parameter includes a dewpoint temperature of air adjacent to a windshield of said vehicle generated by measuring a temperature and a relative humidity (RH) of said air adjacent to said windshield and a glass temperature of said windshield. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein said offset generator module generates said offsets at a predetermined relative humidity (RH), and wherein said offsets include at least one of: a first offset based on a difference between an ambient temperature outside said vehicle and said input temperature;a second offset based on a sunload inside said vehicle;a third offset based on a difference between said psychrometric parameter and a temperature inside said vehicle; anda fourth offset based on a difference between said input temperature and said temperature inside said vehicle. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein said evaporator temperature control module generates said target evaporator temperature by subtracting a sum of at least one of said first, second, third, and fourth offsets from a predetermined evaporator temperature. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein said predetermined RH includes RH between 45% and 55%, said predetermined evaporator temperature includes a temperature of 52 F, and wherein said target evaporator temperature includes a temperature between 38 F and 52 F. 6. The system of claim 1 wherein said (AC) module additionally controls at least one of a blower, and a mode of airflow inside said vehicle based on said target evaporator temperature, wherein said AC module turns off said compressor when one of a sum of said offsets is zero and a temperature of said evaporator is substantially equal to said target evaporator temperature. 7. The system of claim 1 further comprising a fog control module that controls defogging of a windshield of said vehicle based on said psychrometric parameter and said glass temperature of said windshield of said vehicle. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein said first threshold temperature includes a temperature of 6.1 degrees Celsius, and wherein said second threshold temperature includes a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein when a difference between said psychrometric parameter and said glass temperature is between third and fourth thresholds, said AC module controls at least one of said compressor, a blower, and a mode of airflow by generating said target evaporator temperature based on an ambient temperature outside said vehicle. 10. The system of claim 9 wherein said third and fourth thresholds include 4 and 8 degrees Celsius, respectively. 11. A method for controlling air-conditioning of a vehicle, comprising: receiving an input temperature;receiving a psychrometric parameter of air inside said vehicle;generating offsets based on said input temperature and said psychrometric parameter;generating a target evaporator temperature based on said offsets; andcontrolling a compressor by turning off said compressor when a difference between said psychrometric parameter and a vehicle windshield glass temperature is greater than or equal to a first threshold temperature and by turning on said compressor when a difference between said psychrometric parameter and said windshield glass temperature is less than or equal to a second threshold temperature. 12. The method of claim 11 further comprising, when said psychrometric parameter includes a dewpoint temperature of air adjacent to a windshield of said vehicle, generating said dewpoint temperature by measuring a temperature and a relative humidity (RH) of said air adjacent to said windshield and said windshield glass temperature. 13. The method of claim 11 further comprising generating said offsets at a predetermined relative humidity (RH), and wherein said offsets include at least one of: a first offset based on a difference between an ambient temperature outside said vehicle and said input temperature;a second offset based on a sunload inside said vehicle;a third offset based on a difference between said psychrometric parameter and a temperature inside said vehicle; anda fourth offset based on a difference between said input temperature and said temperature inside said vehicle. 14. The method of claim 13 further comprising generating said target evaporator temperature by subtracting a sum of at least one of said first, second, third, and fourth offsets from a predetermined evaporator temperature. 15. The method of claim 14 wherein said predetermined RH includes RH between 45% and 55%, said predetermined evaporator temperature includes a temperature of 52 F, and wherein said target evaporator temperature includes a temperature between 38 F and 52 F. 16. The method of claim 11 further comprising: controlling at least one of said compressor, a blower, and a mode of airflow inside said vehicle based on said target evaporator temperature; andturning off said compressor when one of a sum of said offsets is zero and a temperature of said evaporator is substantially equal to said target evaporator temperature. 17. The method of claim 16 further comprising: controlling defogging of a windshield of said vehicle based on said psychrometric parameter and said glass temperature of said windshield of said vehicle. 18. The method of claim 11 wherein said first threshold temperature includes a temperature of 6.1 degrees Celsius, and wherein said second threshold temperature includes a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. 19. The method of claim 11 further comprising, when a difference between said psychrometric parameter and said glass temperature is between third and fourth thresholds, controlling at least one of said compressor, a blower, and a mode of airflow by generating said target evaporator temperature based on an ambient temperature outside said vehicle. 20. The method of claim 19 wherein said third and fourth thresholds include 4 and 8 degrees Celsius, respectively.
