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.

本研究旨在采集列车乘客的乘车活动、身体姿态、不适感受及乘车需求相关数据。研究采用列车现场观察与乘客填写问卷的方法开展数据采集工作。本次调研的线上问卷由乘客在乘车过程中通过个人智能手机完成填写。现场观察发现，乘客最常见的乘车活动为使用智能手机，具体用途包括收听音乐、聊天打字、观看视频或图片，以及阅读文本。多数乘客反馈其握持智能手机的方式为双手持握，且操作时以右手为主。座椅的大腿承托结构与扶手的舒适度表现最差，显然存在较大的优化空间。后续可开展相关研究，优化座椅设计以提升乘客使用智能手机时的乘车舒适度。
