“…Satisfaction, as shown by Richards et al [7], is highly dependent on the levels of comfort experienced. In an attempt to fit the transporting environment to the passenger as comfortably as possible, the ergonomics of passenger comfort can be divided into three categories: ride comfort, local comfort and organisational comfort [6].…”

“…[13] presented an overview about passenger comfort, the concept of comfort, and its relationship to the passenger's other travel experiences which were discussed and some factors that influence comfort were introduced, including temperature, ventilation, illumination, photic stimulation, pressure changes on the ear, travel length, and task impairment. Richards et al [14] thought that an individual's reaction to a vehicle environment depended on both the physical inputs and the individual characteristics, which means that both objective factors and subjective factors should be considered when evaluating the passenger comfort. Vink et al [15] used more than 10,000 internet trip reports and 153 passenger interviews to gather opinions about aspects, which need to be improved in order to design a more comfortable aircraft interior.…”

A comfortable environment in railway passenger coaches can be regarded as a resource for social consumption during the transport process. Railway passenger comfort benefits (RPCBs) can be regarded as a special generalized cost. In this paper, we select a series of objective and subjective indexes to formulate a quantitative method of calculating the RPCB with considering ticket fares. This method includes three steps: make the initial data dimensionless, calculate the weight of each index, and finally calculate the RPCBs. The proposed method was validated with the data collected from two types of trains: G13 from Beijing South to Shanghai Hongqiao and T109 from Beijing to Shanghai. Also, questionnaire survey was conducted in both trains. After data processing, the results show that there is a linear relationship between the RPCB and ticket fare with a correlation coefficient of 0.9616.

“…This includes the design of the seat itself (e.g. headrests, armrests and seat upholstery), the amount of legroom provided [2,3,21,22,25,26] or the amount of space in the wider cabin environment [21]. The presence of other passengers can also affect comfort.…”

“…Finally, the provision and quality of in--flight entertainment (IFE) [21,22,25,28] can impact on comfort as can the ability for a passenger to carry out desired activities such as reading, sleeping, working etc. [3].…”

BACKGROUND: Comfort is an important factor in the acceptance of transport systems. In 2010 and 2011, the European Commission (EC) put forward its vision for air travel in the year 2050 which envisaged the use of in--flight virtual reality. This paper addressed the EC vision by investigating the effect of virtual environments on comfort. Research has shown that virtual environments can provide entertaining experiences and can be effective distractors from painful experiences. OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which a virtual environment could distract people from sources of discomfort. METHODS: Experiments which involved inducing discomfort commonly experienced in--flight (e.g. limited space, noise) in order to determine the extent to which viewing a virtual environment could distract people from discomfort. RESULTS: Virtual environments can fully or partially distract people from sources of discomfort, becoming more effective when they are interesting. They are also more effective at distracting people from discomfort caused by restricted space than noise disturbances. CONCLUSIONS: Virtual environments have the potential to enhance passenger comfort by providing positive distractions from sources of discomfort. Further research is required to understand more fully the reasons why the effect was stronger for one source of discomfort than the other.
