Although, the literature reveals that coach interior designs have been emphasized as an important factor determining their competitiveness in the market and the quality of an
interior design can be effectively improved by using information about passenger expectations, few practical studies exist to assess the urban railway transport interiors
from the passengers&rsquo / perspective. Consequently, designers lack reliable criteria to guide their decisions which would satisfy users. In this study, it is intended to develop a
procedure to create interior design alternatives of urban railway transportation vehicles with regard to subjective needs and preferences of users. In order to acquire design
criteria and recommendations for such interiors, the design alternatives are then evaluated quantitatively through the medium of semantic assessment tools. The thesis
is supported with the arguments collected from literature and with the data from three empirical studies.
