This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods to sanitize a vehicle. In an example method, a motor vehicle wirelessly transmits a request to sanitize the motor vehicle. The request may be transmitted to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) either directly or indirectly (via a server computer). The motor vehicle then detects the UAV landing upon the roof of the motor vehicle and opens a window of the motor vehicle. The UAV inserts an articulated arm through the open window and into the cabin area of the motor vehicle for executing a sanitizing procedure. The articulated arm can be configured to hold various objects such as a scrubbing pad and/or a container containing a cleaning agent, a sanitizing agent, or a deodorizing agent. In an example scenario, the sanitizing procedure may be directed at eliminating viruses and bacteria that may be present inside the cabin area of the motor vehicle.

A manually-operated trailer wash apparatus for washing an interior of a trailer includes a frame with a handle configured to be manually pushed by a human operator and front and rear wheels. Rotatable couplings are disposed between each of the wheels and the frame to rotate the wheels in response to the manual pushing of the handle. A conduit is coupled to the frame and extends transversely across a direction of travel of the apparatus. The conduit has a plurality of nozzles to pressure wash a surface on which the apparatus travels. The conduit receives pressurized fluid from a hose and pump system.

A vehicle management system includes a vehicle cabin interior information acquisition unit, acquiring vehicle cabin interior information indicating a situation in a vehicle cabin of a vehicle, a dirt factor element recognition unit recognizing a dirt factor element related to dirt in the vehicle cabin based on the vehicle cabin interior information acquired by the vehicle cabin interior information acquisition unit, and a vehicle cleaning handling unit transmitting vehicle cleaning information about cleaning of the vehicle to a user terminal or a maintenance management server when the dirt factor element recognition unit recognizes the dirt factor element, the user terminal being used by a user of the vehicle, the maintenance management server managing maintenance of the vehicle.

A system includes a frame, a spot-free water generator, a booster pump, a tank, a first pressure washer, and a first on-demand pump. The frame is configured to be received within and coupled to a portion of an interior of a vehicle. The spot-free water generator includes a carbon filter, a pre-filter, and a plurality of membranes and is configured to generate spot-free rinse water from tap water. The booster pump receives tap water from an exterior water inlet port and delivers the tap water to the spot-free water generator at a predetermined pressure. The tank is coupled to the frame and receives and stores at least a portion of the spot-free rinse water generated by the spot-free water generator. The first on-demand pump is coupled to the frame and is configured to deliver spot-free rinse water from the tank to the first pressure washer.

The present disclosure generally relates to a portable, daily-use cleaning product. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus, device, or structural system that is adapted to clean or disinfect a restraining member, such as a seatbelt in a car or a restraining belt of an airplane seat or train, or a supporting member, such as a support bar in a subway car or metro bus, and other suitable examples.

A manipulator boom assembly for releasable attachment to a manway of a tank. The manipulator boom assembly includes an elongated and curved boom defining an arcuate shape along a length of the boom, a base adapted to be releasably mounted to the manway of the tank, and a drive coupled to the boom, where the boom is movable by the drive relative to the base and the manway between a retracted position and an extended position within the tank.

An automated wash rig is disclosed for cleaning the interior of a freight container. The wash rig may be transported atop a mobile platform or carriage and inserted into the interior of the freight container. During the cleaning process, the wash rig may travel along the length of the floor of the freight container. Washers (e.g., spray nozzles) on the wash rig may be used to direct cleaning fluid at the surfaces of the interior of the freight container, while dryers (e.g., air knives) on the wash rig may be used to dry off those surfaces. As the wash rig traverses the entire length of the freight container, the entire interior of the freight container is washed and dried. The wash rig may also have ultraviolet (UV) lamps which can provide UV light to sanitize the interior of the freight container during this process.

A vehicle cleaning system includes a vehicle having a substantially flat cabin floor from which a plurality of seats of the vehicle extend, and a robotic cleaning device. The robotic cleaning device includes wheels configured to propel the cleaning device along the cabin floor and selectively clean the cabin floor.

A vehicle management system includes a vehicle cabin interior information acquisition unit, acquiring vehicle cabin interior information indicating a situation in a vehicle cabin of a vehicle, a dirt factor element recognition unit recognizing a dirt factor element related to dirt in the vehicle cabin based on the vehicle cabin interior information acquired by the vehicle cabin interior information acquisition unit, and a vehicle cleaning handling unit transmitting vehicle cleaning information about cleaning of the vehicle to a user terminal or a maintenance management server when the dirt factor element recognition unit recognizes the dirt factor element, the user terminal being used by a user of the vehicle, the maintenance management server managing maintenance of the vehicle.

A vehicle management system includes a vehicle use situation recognition unit recognizing that a user of a vehicle visits a predetermined area or a predetermined facility by the vehicle based on a position of the vehicle recognized by a vehicle position recognition unit and a vehicle cleaning handling unit transmitting vehicle cleaning information about cleaning of the vehicle to at least either one of a user terminal and a maintenance management server in a case where the vehicle use situation recognition unit recognizes that the user visits the predetermined area or the predetermined facility by the vehicle, the user terminal being used by the user, the maintenance management server managing maintenance of the vehicle.
