The invention relates to a medical vehicle (1) comprising a compartment (2) with a medical imaging system (3), wherein the medical imaging system (3) comprises at least one system support sensor (4). The system support sensors (4) augment the vehicle's own sensors and/or replace equivalent sensors in the vehicle. The medical vehicle (1) is configured to obtain sensor readings from the at least one system support sensor (4) during operation of the medical vehicle (1), analyze the sensor readings and provide feedback based on the analyzed sensor readings. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for operating a medical vehicle (1).

An access system for providing ramp access to a vehicle comprising: a containment module mounted within a ground surface; a subframe member mounted to a base surface of the containment module to extend substantially over the base surface of the containment module; a tilting frame pivotally mounted to the subframe member and actuable such that a free end of the tilting frame is able to be elevated and lowered with respect to the subframe member; a extension frame mounted within the tilting frame adjacent the free end thereof, the extension frame actuable to extend from and retract into the extension frame when the extension frame is in an elevated position; wherein, movement of the tilting frame and the extension frame is controlled by a controller to extend from the ground surface to the vehicle to facilitate ramp access to the vehicle

A wheelchair lift for a passenger vehicle such as a passenger bus, a motorcoach, or a class A motorhome. The wheelchair lift includes a housing having sidewalls and a plurality of bearings and a carriage supporting one or more of electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components. A lift assembly, coupled to the housing, includes a first and second scissor leg assembly couples to a platform. First and second handrail assemblies are respectively coupled to first and second sidewalls of the platform. The first handrail assembly includes a lower handrail shield coupled to a first handrail, and an upper handrail shield rotatably coupled to the lower handrail shield and moveable between a lowered position and a raised position, wherein the upper handrail shield in the lowered position is moveable with the lower handrail shield between a storage location and a boundary location.

Disclosed herein are novel personal pop-up pods designed for a single user. In one embodiment, a personal pop-up pod can provide a user with privacy and/or protection from the surrounding environment. The personal pop-up pods can be designed such that a user can remain mobile, i.e., able to move from one location to another while using a personal pop-up pod. The personal pop-up pods can be designed such that a user can selectively gain access to the environment surrounding the pop-up pod by opening windows and other points of access. The personal pop-up pods can protect the user form a variety of conditions surrounding the personal pop-up pods such as, for example, rain, snow, wind, low temperatures, and other such climate related elements or communicable diseases and other such health risks.
