How do we improve the rest and sleep experience of mega city passengers in long-distance travel?

Recent studies have shown that public transportation is becoming more and more dense due to the increase of mega cities. In China alone, during the Spring Festival, the Ministry of Railways released a total estimation of 340 million train passengers. 3.4 million people, on average, use the railway system on a daily basis, and 30% of the 3.4 million passengers travel more than 24 hours to get their destination.

Proof of Concept

The full scale mockup proved the concept of distribution feasibility, components sizes, comfort level and mechanisms of connection.

Solution - Napac

User Scenario 1 - Hard Seat Passenger

Napac helps users rest in a natural position. The two pockets on napac allow users to hug the bag as they sleep, and the adjustable airbag neck pillow provides head and chin support to reduce soreness. There is also a small strap for eyewear.

User Scenario 2 - Standing Ticket Passenger

Napac can easily shift into a temporary seat by fastening the retractable belt and releasing the bottom pad. Users can then lean on the backpack while the belt helps them retain a curled position. It can be used both when waiting for the train or sitting in the aisles of the train.
