Data underlying the publication "Passenger Activities, Postures, Dis(Comfort) Perception, and Needs During Train Travel "

This study aims to collect data on the activities, postures, dis(comfort), and needs of train passengers. Observations in the trains and questionnaires completed by train passengers were used. The online questionnaire was completed using the smartphone of the passengers during the train trip. The most often observed activity of the passengers was using a smartphone while travelling. They used a smartphone to listen to music, chat or type, look at a video or picture, and to read. Most passengers reported that they hold a smartphone with both hands and used a smartphone with the right hand. The thigh support and the armrests of the seat showed the lowest comfort and certainly have room for improvement. Future research could be considered to design the seat to increase passenger comfort while using a smartphone.

本研究旨在收集列车乘客的活动、姿态、不适（discomfort）以及需求相关数据。研究采用列车现场观测与乘客问卷调研的方式采集数据，其中线上问卷由乘客在乘车途中通过个人智能手机完成填写。观测到乘客最普遍的乘车活动为使用智能手机，具体用途涵盖聆听音乐、聊天打字、观看视频或浏览图片以及阅读。多数乘客反馈，其使用智能手机的方式为双手握持设备、右手进行操作。座椅的大腿支撑区域与扶手的舒适度表现最差，显然具备较大的优化空间。未来可开展相关研究优化座椅设计，以提升乘客使用智能手机时的乘坐舒适度。
