The purpose to redesign is due to current PUTRA LRT seat had been use for more than 10 years, colour of seats are not attractive and there is some wear and tear. This new design is based on the Bombardier requirement. The new design of LRT seat was used Fibre Reinforce Polymer (FRP) as material. By using CAE software which is Generative Shape Design in CATIA, few designs were drafted as conceptual design. The best design of LRT seat was selected by using engineering design selection method. This new design of seat had been analysed by using Generative Structure Analysis (FEA) in CATIA to identify the critical part. Besides, D 6110 ASTM Standard Test Method for Determining the Charpy Impact Resistance of Notched Specimens of Plastics used to ensure the seat is safe to use. FEA and Charpy test result shown the new design of seat was pass the requirement of rail transportation industry.
