Client: ÖBB-PV AG; Bernhard Rüger in Sub for Vienna University of Technology, research area for railways
Project description: Proposed passenger coach designs for the new railjet trains of ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG were evaluated with regard to the possibilities for luggage accommodation and the theoretically achievable degree of capacity utilisation. Based on the evaluation results, redesign proposals were developed in several variants for the respective vehicle types with the aim of increasing the availability of seats and at the same time reducing customer comfort and safety risks due to non-stowable luggage.
