Abstract

In response to the problems of fragmented cultural images and single experience dimensions in the carriages of high-speed trains for ice and snow tourism in Northeast China, a theme carriage design scheme integrating regional cultural symbols and functional innovation is proposed to enhance tourists' immersive cultural experience and promote the upgrading of cultural tourism in cold regions. the KJ method system extracts the cultural symbols of Northeast ice and snow. the AHP method is based on the data of 112 user questionnaires. By integrating the KJ method and the AHP analytic hierarchy process, a three-dimensional framework of "passenger - carriage - culture" is constructed. the weights of design elements are quantitatively analyzed, and the spatial optimization design is completed according to the priority of the weights. the ceiling of the first-class seat with a theme of hua jiao is designed to create an ambient lighting system based on the outline of hua jiao. Sound insulation boards are added to the seats to enhance privacy. the foot pads integrate the function of collecting snow water and are decorated with the texture of hua jiao. the second-class seat ceiling with the theme of chili peppers projects cultural light and shadow through the "Chinese window lattice" element. the seats adopt a biomimetic shape of chili peppers and a gradient of red and green colors. Anti-drop sensor light strips are added to the corridor to ensure safety. the scheme realizes the precise transformation of cultural symbols and demand-oriented design through the KJ-AHP model, solves the problem of superficial cultural expression, and provides methodological and practical references for regional cultural tourism transportation design.
