An apparatus for controlling a space of a vehicle includes: a communication device to receive reservation information; and a controller to determine a manner of partitioning an inner space of the vehicle based on the reservation information and control an operation of one or more partition to correspond to the manner of partitioning the inner space, thereby allowing users moving similar routes to feel comfortable.

The present invention provides a vehicular seat apparatus capable of increasing a baggage-loading space in the indoor space of a vehicle and of preventing the load of baggage from being applied to the seat. The vehicular seat apparatus includes a seat configured to enable a seat back thereof to be folded, a partition wall coupled to the vehicle floor behind the seat via a moving unit so as to be moved anteroposteriorly and to partition the indoor space in the vehicle into a front passenger space and a rear baggage-loading space, a hinge bracket configured to hingedly couple a seat cushion of the seat to the vehicle floor, a caster mounted to the seat so as to enable the seat to be rolled along the vehicle floor and the partition wall, and a holding unit configured to selectively hold the seat cushion of the seat to the vehicle floor or the partition wall.

An apparatus and methods for a driver barrier to isolate public transit vehicle operators, such as bus drivers or coach operators, from passenger seating areas. The driver side barrier includes a driver side barrier mounted behind a driver cockpit and a door coupled with the driver side barrier. In a closed configuration, the driver side barrier and door provide a barrier between the driver cockpit and a passenger seating area of the vehicle. The door may be rotated forward to provide a protective shield around the driver cockpit while allowing passengers to enter and exit the passenger seating area. In some embodiments, the door may be extended across an aisle of the passenger seating area to a curbside barrier, thereby partitioning the driver cockpit and passenger seating areas. When not in use, the door may be stowed behind the driver cockpit.

A folding a partition consist of an acrylic partition having folding panels, and a set of hinges to secure and give the capability of folding the panels of the acrylic partition. There are two vertical legs, for elevation, that are removably secured to the folding panels of the acrylic partition. The acrylic partition comes with a set of utility straps, and the utility straps are utilized to secure the acrylic partition inside the vehicle onto the center post of that vehicle, for safe horizontal positioning of the acrylic partition as it stands positioned behind the front seats.

A vehicle occupant protection structure includes a seat body including a seatback configured to support a back of an occupant, and a shell section including a portion configured to face a side of the occupant whose back is supported by the seatback and the portion configured to restrict movement of the occupant in a seat width direction in a case of a vehicle collision.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body defining an interior cabin. The interior cabin includes a passenger compartment and a cargo compartment. The vehicle body includes a floor below the interior cabin. An airbag is supported on the floor and is inflatable upwardly from the floor between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment. A retractor is fixed to the vehicle body above the airbag. A tether extends from the retractor to the airbag.

An apparatus is disclosed that limits forward swing of an accessory mounted in a vehicle, the accessory separating a cargo area from a passenger seating area and configured to rotate around a bracket rod. The apparatus includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket is attached to the accessory and extends perpendicularly away from the accessory. The second bracket is attached to the bracket rod and extends perpendicularly away from the bracket rod. When the first bracket contacts the second bracket, forward swing of the accessory toward the passenger seating area is limited.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle roof and a panel rotatably connected to the vehicle roof. The panel is rotatable away from the vehicle roof from a stowed position to a deployed position. The assembly includes an airbag supported on the panel. The airbag is inflatable from the panel in a vehicle-forward direction when the panel is in the deployed position.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body defining an interior cabin having an occupant cabin and a cargo cabin. A seatback is in the occupant cabin. The seatback has a seatback frame elongated along an upright axis. A panel is elongated along the upright axis of the seatback frame. The panel is slidably engaged with the seatback frame. The panel is slidable relative to the seatback frame along the upright axis from a stowed position to a deployed position. The panel is stowed relative to the seatback frame in the stowed position and elongated away from the seatback frame along the upright axis between the occupant cabin and the cargo cabin in the deployed position. A pyrotechnic actuator is fixed to the seatback frame and operatively engaged with the panel to deploy the panel from the stowed position to the deployed position.
