Innovative Design Method of Passenger Seat in China’s EMUs
Abstract
To continuously improve the quality of passenger seat in China’s EMUs, a full-chain innovative design method for EMU passenger seat integrating “challenges identification - design research - design strategy - design scheme verification” is proposed. Firstly, through offline and online surveys, the pain points, travel needs and behavioral characteristics of passengers are clarified. Then, based on the research of functions, ergonomics and dimensions, and key technologies of passenger seats, the basis for innovative design is formed. Design strategies are formulated respectively from the dimensions of spatial layout, functional modules and seat structure. Finally, the strength and safety performance of the design scheme are verified by finite element analysis to form an innovative design product. This method comprehensively covers the entire process of challenges identification, design research, design strategies, and design scheme verification. The case provides a reference method for the innovative design of passenger seats in EMUs.
