Today, train passenger exchange is mostly insufficient. As well as different entrance areas
and improper interiors cause restrictions of the passengers comfort, a longer exchange time and have
consequences of the modal split. If the interiors of coaches are optimised the stop-over time will be
reduced to a third on the average. For the quantification of the influence of the interior on the stopover
time, a research work has been made on the Institute for Railway Engineering, Traffic Economics
and Ropeways. For this research work 13000 passenger exchange processes were recorded and
evaluated. These data collections were made at German, Austrian and Swiss railway stations.
Key words: dwell time, passenger behaviour, vehicle entrance, vehicle interiors
