PASSENGER COMFORT: A METHODICAL APPROACH

The authors, from the Transport Research Institute, underline the importance of the comfort factor in the field of transport. They consider the various constituent elements of comfort relevant to rail transport: physical factors, social and environmental factors associated with passengers and the temporal aspects of comfort. The methods for assessing vehicle comfort include different parameters which can be obtained in either analytical or a general manner. In section 3, they provide a contribution to the formulation of an overall comfort model and provide a calculation algorithm.
