Third Design Concept

Third Design Concept

In the third design concept we focus on a new pain point: Crowding. The design is based around two simple ideas, the first being a new typ of method for entering the train, and the second one being a clear information board regarding the crowding information on incoming trains. 

The new doors are integrated in a glass wall along the platform making sure that you can not fall down on the railway. This would hopefully create new space for the passengers waiting for the train since you now can stand closer to the edge of the platform without being afraid of falling down on the rail. The platforms is around 150-200 meter and today around half a meter to the edge is not in use. This means that there is 75-100 m^2 of space wasted on the platform today but with the new doors this might be used more efficiently.

Guiding arrows on the ground to help people locate their wanted exit and marked areas on the ground close to the entrance to make sure that passengers entering the train are not in the way when people are exiting the train.

The goal of the new board is to give travelers on the station information on the upcoming trains crowding level to help the travelers position them self depending on their preference. If a passenger wants a free seat they should know where to be standing to increase their chances of getting it.
