Research / Analysis

• improving the train journey based on comfort• group research• Melbourne field trip• primary research from

surveys, internet, personal experience, photos and analysing the structure of the seats• possible limitations?

Existing Environments

• comparing trains within different states, areas and countries

- seats

- materials

- interior design

• Comparing people on the train

Concept / Design• 2d layout sketches → cad 3d model

(rendered) → FEA• Combination of ergonomics and design • New seat model consist of:

- Reclinable- Cushion width – increase

individual space- Individual lighting - seat accessories - fixed or foldable

armrests, foldable table, headrest, wi-fi connection, power source

- eye-catching modern tapered design

- Top quality materials- Safety and stability

•Chair modelling assembly•Finite Element Analysis

to check materials and structure integrity and safety factors

•Project timeline

User Interface DesignErgonomics (Evaluation)

- Comfort analysis- Predict Posture

• New chair design to minimise risk of injuries using key points of the body in sitting position when travelling

Review / Production

• Review design against specifications and criteria• Material finalised• Manufacturing drawing• Protptype fabrication

process• Prototype testing (Scale)• Marketing and sales• Production
