2018-08-30 | Deadline Worldwide competition: Banner Lock it & Relax

When you go on a long trip you usually carry a lot of luggage – that also happens when you travel by train. On a train you can store your belongings at the luggage rack or on the overhead shelves. But we all know that we don’t like leaving our bags unattended or out of sight. So, what do you do when the luggage rack is not easily visible from your seat? What do you do with your carry-ons when you want to go to the dining car or the toilet?

That’s our aim: Lock it & Relax! ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA and ÖBB, Austria’s biggest mobility provider with yearly more than 461 million passengers in seven European countries are looking for innovative companies with existing solutions for reaching this aim. Train travellers should be given the opportunity to go on more relaxing and carefree journeys with the help of luggage safety on the long distance premium train Railjet. 
That’s the competition: Can you fulfil the train travellers’ needs?

Imagine… At the beginning of a long train ride customers deposit and lock their luggage, know that it is safe in storage and then they don’t have to worry about it at any time along the way, regardless of their activities during the train ride.

ÖBB is looking for existing solutions for luggage locking systems used by train travellers on premium train Railjet regarding luggage racks and overhead shelves. (see pictures attached). The Railjet fleet includes 60 trains which travels internationally across seven countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, Liechtenstein) and provide about 900 luggage racks and overhead shelves.
