About Mod-Ice Tren Suburbano

Ang Mod-Ice usa ka tren suburbano nga gidisenyo alang sa modernong mga siyudad nga may init nga klima. Ang hait ug yano nga mga linya nagtakdo sa silwita sa usa ka modernong siyudad. Ang mga sumbanan sa ice cube naghulagway sa usa ka bugnaw nga agos sa hangin, ug ang hayag nga mga kolor nagpataas sa pagsabot sa kaluagon. Ang pagsiga nga gibutang sa luyo sa mga tekstura nga nawong nagdugang og makapasadya nga epekto atol sa taas nga mga biyahe sa init nga panahon. Adunay bulag nga mga dapit alang sa gagmay nga mga bag, dagko nga mga bagahe, kariton sa bata, bisikleta ug wheelchair. Ang sulod gilaraw aron makaalagad sa halapad nga han-ay sa mga pasahero sa medium-haul nga mga ruta.

Production Technology
Interior dimensions regarding window and door interspaces are calculated to make it possible to use identical perforated sheet metals for the ceiling and identical FRP(fiber reinforced polymer) side panels created from the same mould. Tempered glasses next to doors are textured with the icing process and enlightened with the LEDs inside the hidden canals. Seat material is PP GF25(HL1-HL2-R6) to reduce the weight. Seat base and back supports are coated with nonflammable fabric. Exterior nose design is FRP and other side shells are composed of sheet metals. Some places are coated with blue textured stickers special to railway applications.
Design Challenge
The main aim is creating a modern look by using cost-effective methods and catching a harmony between interior and exterior design that both give the feeling of a cool iced atmosphere.
Research
Benchmark and field researches are done. The needs of different type of voyagers are specified and the design is conducted according to the outputs. Interior and exterior design trends, color pallets, different materials and finishing methods are gathered together on a moodboard.
Inspiration
Imagine entering a train with sweat on your neck and luggage in your hands from a very hot weather. As soon as coming inside, the relaxation of the cool breeze coming from the air condition catches you. Isn't it great if you also visually feel the cool atmosphere inside?

At this point Mod-Ice aims to visualize a cool and relaxing sense to its voyagers in a modern way. Dynamically moving ice cube patterns creates an abstraction of a cool airflow. Lighting behind the squares enriches a refreshing perception by moving on the texture.
Project Duration
6 months, ANKARA
Operation Flow
It is designed to be operated in the medium-haul distances such as airport, suburban areas and outer city regions.
