Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for sensing the status and configuration of various accessibility devices in a vehicle, monitoring and reporting the status and configuration of those accessibility devices, guiding a vehicle operator or attendant through the proper use of those accessibility devices, and identifying and reporting abnormal conditions based on feedback from those devices are provided herein. These systems provide enhanced securement confirmation for a vehicle operator and promote a safer riding experience for a mobility passenger.

Abstract: Systems for securing wheelchairs in a wheelchair-accessible van or similar personal or commercial vehicle. The wheelchair securement system may be integrated into a constructed vehicle or a new floor frame for a converted wheelchair-accessible vehicle prior to the frame being secured to the vehicle body. The wheelchair securement system may be integrated in a way that does not obstruct the wheelchair from maneuvering into the vehicle via the vehicle ramp and within the vehicle as it is positioned into one or more wheelchair securement areas.

Abstract: A wheelchair accessible autonomous vehicle with improved interoperability between the ingress/egress doors, wheelchair access device, non-ingress/egress doors, and wheelchair securement system. Safety interlocks for those components may be automatically engaged and disengaged by vehicle computing systems during ingress and egress of a wheelchair based on input from one or more perception sensors associated with the vehicle, the ingress/egress doors, the non-ingress/egress doors, the wheelchair access device, the wheelchair securement system, and the wheelchair.

Abstract: An obstruction perception system for a wheelchair accessible vehicle is provided. The system may embody a sensor, such as a camera, that detects objects entering a safety or safety zone surrounding the vehicle's wheelchair access device, such as a ramp or lift. The system may also include a computing system or controller executing machine learning software/algorithms or other logic/instructions for receiving input from the sensor, determining whether obstructions are present, and taking corrective action to prevent the access device from colliding with the obstruction. The computing system may also provide instructions for aligning the vehicle with wheelchair pick-up locations, ensuring sufficient space is available to deploy the ramp in a parking spot, recording events/incidents, providing feedback to the vehicle operator/passenger, and updating vehicle maps.
