Abstract (Swedish)
Övergången till mer klimatvänliga transportmedel är en viktig utveckling som behövde göras för att spara på klimatet. I Sverige står transportsektorn för ungefär 30% av alla växthusgaser, vilket innebär att det är en av de största bidragsgivarna till utsläppet av växthusgaser. I förbindelse med den ökande klimatmedvetenheten har idén om att vara mer miljömässig för att skydda på planeten blivit alltmer framträdande i vårt samhälle.

Till följd av de växande antal tågresenärerna har trängselnivåerna på stationerna ökat, men problemet ligger i att stationerna i Sverige i stort sett ser ut som de gjorde när de konstruerades vilket innebär att de inte kan tillgodose alla nya resenärer. De ökade trängselnivåerna medför en nedgång i komfort... (More)
Övergången till mer klimatvänliga transportmedel är en viktig utveckling som behövde göras för att spara på klimatet. I Sverige står transportsektorn för ungefär 30% av alla växthusgaser, vilket innebär att det är en av de största bidragsgivarna till utsläppet av växthusgaser. I förbindelse med den ökande klimatmedvetenheten har idén om att vara mer miljömässig för att skydda på planeten blivit alltmer framträdande i vårt samhälle.

Till följd av de växande antal tågresenärerna har trängselnivåerna på stationerna ökat, men problemet ligger i att stationerna i Sverige i stort sett ser ut som de gjorde när de konstruerades vilket innebär att de inte kan tillgodose alla nya resenärer. De ökade trängselnivåerna medför en nedgång i komfort och minskad trivsel på tågen. Tågoperatörerna påverkas också negativt då trängsel gör det svårare för dem att erbjuda en service till samma standard. Trängsel orsakas eftersom många resenärer väljer samma dörr vid stigningen. Ett sätt att minska trängsel är genom att fördela alla människor jämnare mellan alla dörrar, vilket bland annat kan göras med beteendekorrigerande skärmar. Denna studie fokuserar på att ta reda på hur dessa bildskärmar ska se ut för att effektivt påverka passagerarnas val av dörr för att undvika hög trängselnivåer vid avstigning- och påstigningsprocessen.

Resultaten från studien visar på att det mest effektiva av de testade designalternativet för att påverka passagerarnas val är gubbe som man fyller i med olika färger. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
The shift towards more environmentally friendly means of transportation is a pivotal change that needs to be made, to save the environment. The transportation sector alone constitutes roughly a third of all greenhouse emissions in Sweden, making it one of the leading contributors to all greenhouse gases. With ever-growing climate awareness, the idea of adopting a greener approach to protect the planet has taken a more significant part of our society.

The congestion levels at stations have surged due to an ever-growing number of train passengers. The problem is that most stations in Sweden look the same as they were originally built, resulting in their inability to accommodate all additional travelers. In connection with increased... (More)
The shift towards more environmentally friendly means of transportation is a pivotal change that needs to be made, to save the environment. The transportation sector alone constitutes roughly a third of all greenhouse emissions in Sweden, making it one of the leading contributors to all greenhouse gases. With ever-growing climate awareness, the idea of adopting a greener approach to protect the planet has taken a more significant part of our society.

The congestion levels at stations have surged due to an ever-growing number of train passengers. The problem is that most stations in Sweden look the same as they were originally built, resulting in their inability to accommodate all additional travelers. In connection with increased congestion the comfort and overall enjoyment have reduced significantly. Besides the decline in comfort and satisfaction, the train operators are also impacted negatively. Higher congestion levels make it even more difficult to maintain the same level of service. Congestion is often caused due to most passengers choosing to use the same entrance when boarding. It encompasses that the only way to alleviate congestion is by spreading out the passengers evenly across all doors. One way of doing this is using behavior-changing screens. Using a survey, this study aims to identify how these screens could be designed to influence passengers' choices to avoid severe congestion during the boarding and alighting process.

The study's findings indicate that the most effective of the tested design alternatives to influence passengers' choices is the one with the little figure that gets filled in with different colors. (Less)
