This co-creation project from Edenspiekermann, STBY, ProRail and NS Dutch Railways came out as the winner of the category Product Innovation & Technology.

We are proud that our project is also nominated for the Rotterdam Design Prize. Besides the jury’s prize, the public can vote for the Rotterdam Design Public Prize.

**Improving boarding process on train platforms **

We worked closely together with train passengers, research agency STBY and our clients ProRail and NS to improve the boarding process on train platforms. The result is a 180 meter long LED screen above the train platform displaying information about the arriving train. It shows where the most free seats are, where first and second class will stop, where the quiet zone will be and where to board with your bike or wheelchair.
