Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wagon body of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, comprising a passenger compartment with a compartment floor and a seat fixation device located within the passenger compartment.
  • the passenger compartment defines a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a height direction, a centerline plane, a first compartment side and a second compartment side.
  • the centerline plane runs parallel to the longitudinal direction and the height direction, wherein the first and second compartment side are located at opposite sides of the centerline plane.
  • the seat fixation device comprises a first seat fixation unit and a second seat fixation unit located at the compartment floor, the first seat fixation unit being located at the first compartment side at a first distance from the centerline plane and the second seat fixation unit being located at the second compartment side at a second distance from the centerline plane.
  • train set operators In public transportation, in particular in regional and commuter traffic, train set operators typically desire to achieve and use the maximum transport capacity of the train set in order to be as cost effective as possible.
  • the attractiveness of train lines to passengers may reach its limits or even decline due to the passengers' perception of a lack in passenger comfort if train sets are always operated under their maximum seating capacity. This may lead to a situation where potential passengers may choose other perceivably more comfortable means of transportation. A situation which is, obviously, not in the interest of train set operators.
  • first and second seat fixation units located at the compartment floor at equal distance from the centerline plane.
  • the first and second seat fixation units each either support a seat post located at the inner side of the inner seat (i.e. at the central corridor) or located between the two seats supported. Both configurations allow rather limited flexibility in terms of different seat arrangements at low expense.
  • a more flexible passenger seat arrangement at low expense is achieved using an arrangement of the first and second seat fixation units that is noticeably asymmetric with respect to the centerline plane.
  • Such a noticeably asymmetric arrangement allows achieving a more flexible seat arrangement.
  • a basic 2+2 seat configuration (per row) can easily be upgraded or modified into a 2+3 seat configuration or even a 2+1 seat configuration, if necessary, without the necessity to modify the seat support structure (such as e.g. vertical support struts or the like).
  • the seat configuration may be easily adapted to the specific needs of the line to be operated in order to offer an optimized number of seats (adapted or tailored to the number of passengers to be expected on this line), the seats in turn being adapted to provide the maximum amount of comfort for the respective configuration.
  • a 2+1 seat configuration i.e. a situation with a comparatively low number of passengers to be expected
  • very wide seats may be used noticeably enhancing passenger comfort and, thus, the attractiveness of the line.
  • a 2+3 seat configuration may be chosen to provide a maximum of seats for the passengers to be expected.
  • the present invention relates to a wagon body of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, comprising a passenger compartment with a compartment floor and a seat fixation device located within the passenger compartment.
  • the passenger compartment defines a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a height direction, a centerline plane, a first compartment side and a second compartment side, the centerline plane running parallel to the longitudinal direction and the height direction, the first and second compartment side being located at opposite sides of the centerline plane.
  • the seat fixation device comprises a first seat fixation unit and a second seat fixation unit located at the compartment floor, the first seat fixation unit being located at the first compartment side at a first distance from the centerline plane and the second seat fixation unit being located at the second compartment side at a second distance from the centerline plane.
