Abstract: Konstfack, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm is responsible for designing the passenger environments of tomorrow on the Green Train. A great many sub-projects with different aims and directions have been conducted with a focus on passengers' behaviour, needs, and perceptions. The purpose of the different design concepts is to constitute an idea bank for manufacturers, operators and other players in the rail industry. The project has been driven by a core team of tree industrial designers and in all, some 15-16 different designers and design students have been involved in different parts of the Green Train project. The objective was not to create a cohesive finished train but gain deeper knowledge of the different parts and functions of the train. This creates scope for separate design studies and penetration of a sub-area without their needing to otherwise relate to the train. The design work has generated hundreds of ideas and design concepts that are ready to be developed into final products and services.
