Abstract In order for the railways to be “competitive”, their operating efficiency is imperative. In the context of railway carriage interior design and planning, this is often made subordinate to other substantial aspects such as, for example, expediency, which in practice, leads to a poor result. Misunderstood operating efficiency concepts such as a maximal utilisation of space for seating can, in reality, lead to a decline in operating efficiency, operational problems and incidents due to serious safety risks. Luggage is one of the main reasons why people choose their car instead of public transport. In order to support more sustainable and active forms of mobility, it is necessary to develop ground-breaking logistic systems not only for travellers themselves but also for their luggage.
