About Mod-Ice Forstadstog
Mod-Ice er et forstadstog designet til moderne byer med varmt klima. Skarpe og enkle linjer matcher silhuetten af en moderne by. Ismønstre abstraherer en kølig luftstrøm, og lyse farver forstærker fornemmelsen af rummelighed. Belysning placeret bag de teksturerede overflader tilføjer en forfriskende effekt under lange rejser i varmt vejr. Der er separate områder til mindre tasker, større bagage, barnevogne, cykler og kørestole. Interiøret er planlagt til at betjene et bredt udsnit af rejsende på mellemlange ruter.

- Unique Properties
- Mod-Ice is a suburban train design for modern and hot climate cities. Sharp and simple lines make it a compatible fit for the silhouette of a modern city. In addition to the ice cube patterns abstracting an airflow, the cool and light color usage enhances the perception of spaciousness. It also brings the feeling of cooling down experience leading a comfortable long trip in hot weathers. Its separated areas for small bags, big luggage, baby carriages, bicycles and wheelchairs embrace a wide scope of voyagers.

- 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
