DB ICE3 driver’s cab door

The aim of the project was to examine the impact of an existing driver’s cab door on passenger changeover times and train turnaround times.

Client: DB Fernverkehr AG

Duration: 2023

Project description: The influence of a separate driver’s cab door on passenger boarding time and turnaround time was examined. The starting point was the assumption that when the driver’s cab door is used by passengers, it takes longer for the driver to reach their workplace, which can lead to a delay in the dwell time.
