MOVING MOBILITY INTERIORS INTO THE FUTURE

C.A.T.S. (Crash Absorbing Table System)

We are in the mission of enhancing passenger’s safety.

The Seisenbacher R&D team developed a new crash-absorbing table system (compliant to APTA standard PR-CS-S-018-13), which features a cantilever construction. A patented crash absorbing element developed for this specific application is integrated under the tabletop in an aluminium frame to diffuse the impact energy through friction and shock absorption. The lightweight tabletop is not part of the crash system, can be adapted to customer preferences and allows integration of various passenger aimed features (e.g. passenger information displays, wireless charging devices). Comprehensive simulations and lab tests prove that the effectiveness of our CATS is independent of the direction of travel or seat orientation, and that the risk of injury is significantly lower in all possible seating configurations. At the same time, the modular system offers a great deal of freedom for customisation of the seating area, enabling increased consideration of passenger needs and customer requests. The development is fully finished, and serial table systems are shipped to customers.

VÄSTA – Bike Storage

From pain over solution to product concept.

During the pandemic one of our system engineers dealt intensively with the topic of bicycles and travelling by bike. During this exploration he discovered that there is no satisfactory solution for taking bicycles on rail vehicles. His solution was discussed in detail at an in-house workshop. Together with our industrial designer, we converted the solution idea into a concept and decided to exhibit this concept as a prototype at this year’s InnoTrans. For the actual development project, we expect feedback to this displayed prototype from the trade audience.

Ceiling Systems

Business as usual.

The centrepiece of every single train, in local and long-distance traffic, is the core competence of Seisenbacher. The various designs of our ceiling systems are well known far beyond the borders of Austria. Our ceiling systems are of high quality and include all components requested by our customers. In order to supply our customers with a plug-and-play solution, our ceiling systems in the majority of cases get equipped with LED lighting, air ducts and sometimes even cables and cable trays.
