passenger experience round-up PASSENGER EXPERIENCE

comfort (Bouwens et al., 2017)

comfort 1 (Bouwens et al., 2017)

Say out loud: During boarding passenger comfort is low

(de)boarding= bad experience + time consuming

Light guiding reduces boarding time appr 3 min B737-8 (Coppens et al., 2018)

Say out loud: for better boarding light guiding is promising

Passengers board using a wider aisle

After boarding the system goes back to a standard aisle

For deboarding the seats go back to the first position and passengers deboard using a wider aisle

For deboarding the seats go back to the first position and passengers deboard using a wider aisle

comfort 2 (Bouwens et al., 2017)

Say out loud: During cruise flight passenger comfort is low

Lewis (2017): distraction works

7 comfort 5 3 (Bouwens et al., 2017)

Variation of posture: Reduces back/neck problems Reduces DVT Increases Comfort Vink 2016

Now exercise

12 participants 3:30 hours with and 3:30 hours without game

Comfort (1-5) 5 4.2 s playing the game s control s 3.4 1 2 3 3.5h (Bouwens & Fasulo, 2017)

Test is important

Say out loud: Variation of posture increase comfort

Say out loud: Shear forces should be avoided

Technically it works

Say out loud: Twenty eight inch pitch should be avoided

-many solutions for better experience -boarding: light guiding seems promising -distraction helps in creating comfort: connectivity gets attention, food promising -comfort 5-6: absolute minimum, but exists
