A train information management assistance apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a generation unit. The acquisition unit acquires internal signal definition information and on-board device installation information. The internal signal definition information is information in which an internal signal that is a signal for use inside a train information management apparatus to be installed in a train are defined in association with an on-board device installed in the train. The on-board device installation information is information in which the number of the on-board device installed in each car of the train is defined. The generation unit generates, based on the internal signal definition information and the on-board device installation information, packet definition information for identifying a position of the internal signal associated with the on-board device inside a packet transmitted and received inside the train information management apparatus.

Provided is a sound absorbing panel that can satisfy the heat resistance properties and melting/dripping resistance properties required inside of a railway vehicle. A pier sound absorbing panel includes five sheets of first through fifth glass cloths that are stacked on an aluminum base plate. The edge section of the fifth glass cloth is affixed to the rear surface of the base plate using an adhesive, and the first through fourth glass cloths are fastened using staples. In other words, the first glass cloth and the base plate are fixed using an adhesive, and this adhesive is prevented from melting by the five sheets of the first through fifth glass cloths. The adhesive that fixes the edge section of the fifth glass cloth at the other surface of the base plate is prevented from melting by the five sheets of the first through fifth glass cloths and the base plate.

A backrest includes a panel-shaped base member that is provided along a main surface which includes a reference line extending in a direction intersecting a floor surface of a vehicle, and a retaining member that is provided on a front surface of the base member and that has a front surface which has a curved surface shape in a state in which the retaining member is supporting a load in a direction toward the main surface. Due to this configuration, the retaining member presents a curved surface shape due to the load of a standing passenger when the passenger leans against the backrest, and thereby the passenger's body can be stably retained.

A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a passenger region and a luggage region. The passenger region and the luggage region are separate and at least one luggage input device for transferring luggage from the passenger region into the luggage region, and at least one luggage output device for transferring luggage from the luggage region into the passenger region are provided. The luggage region is equipped with a luggage transport device which, when an item of luggage is delivering to the luggage input device, transports the respective piece of luggage to a storage point of the luggage region and, when there is a return request at the luggage output device, transports the respective item of luggage to the luggage output device. A luggage storage device for a vehicle and a method for storing luggage in a vehicle are also provided.

The comfort device (10) includes a table (12) including a plate (22) and attachment unit (14, 16) including: a lateral fixed support (46), attached to a vertical wall (20), including a first connecting portion by sliding, an attachment member (52) secured to the plate (22), including a second connecting portion by sliding, mating the first, and unit retractable unit for blocking the attachment member on the lateral fixed support, active at the end of a predefined travel of the first connecting portion on the second connecting portion. These blocking units are movable between a blocking position in which the first and second connecting portions are secured to each other, and a release position in which the first and second connecting portions are free to move relatively to each other.

The table (10) includes a plate (12) extending, in a longitudinal direction, between a first lateral edge (12A) bearing first removable attachment elements (14) to a lateral wall of the compartment, and a second free lateral edge (12B), and a central leg (18) extending between a first end (18A) connected to the plate and a second end (18B) including second removable attachment elements (20) to the floor of the compartment. The first end of the central leg is connected to the plate through a pivot connection (26) allowing pivoting of the central leg for folding it back towards one of the first or second lateral edges of the plate, and the plate includes, at the other one of the first or second lateral edges of the plate, at least one supporting member (28) on which the plate is intended to be supported when the plate is laid on the floor.

A passenger table for connection to a side wall of a rail vehicle and for orientation in the transverse direction of the rail vehicle, includes a side wall pillar for connection to the side wall and a table panel supported by the side wall pillar. A horizontal support bar extends from the side wall pillar and, at a distance from the side wall pillar, is connected to the table panel by plastically deformable connection elements in such a manner that, when the plastically deformable connection elements are deformed, the support bar is movable in a horizontal plane relative to the table panel.
