A partition for separating front and rear occupant areas of a vehicle comprises a frame and multiple panel sections. The frame is for attachment to the vehicle and has a first lateral member, respective angled side tubular members and a window. The multiple panel sections are configured to fit vertically between the window and a floor and horizontally between first and second sides. The multiple panel sections comprise a first panel section for positioning adjacent the first side, a second panel section for positioning adjacent the second side and a center section laterally adjacent and separating the first and second panel members. The center section protrudes rearwardly relative to the first panel section and the second panel section. The second panel section is recessed forwardly of the first panel section and forwardly of the center section to increase space available in a rear seat aligned with the second panel section.

A novel door and partition assembly for transit vehicles is provided. The door extends from the floor to the ceiling of the transit vehicle and the partition extends from the floor to the ceiling of the transit vehicle and to the windshield and dashboard area such that passengers cannot reach around the door and partition assembly into the operator's area. A novel locking mechanism is provided having an external and internal release mechanism which allows the operator to enter and exit the operator's area of a transit vehicle having the novel door and partition assembly.

A protective flooring system for a vehicle having a base structure such as a hull or frame and a floor, using a plurality of controllable fluid energy absorbers connected between the floor and base structure for attenuating forces transmitted there between as a function of a control signal applied to the energy absorber. The floor may be suspended or supported above the body, and in either case the energy absorber may be pre-biased by a spring or means of activating the controllable fluid. The energy absorbers may be attached in the manner of a Stewart platform: along the perimeter of the floor by ball-and-socket-joints to provide multi-axis damping. In another embodiment, the protective flooring system comprises a plurality of resilient bladders sandwiched between the floor and overlying tiles, each bladder being filled with controllable fluid in fluid communication with one or more flow valve(s) which can activate the controllable fluid to provide a controllable fluid damping characteristic.

A vehicle system for a vehicle includes memory hardware in communication with data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include determining whether the vehicle is in park, determining whether an occupant is in the vehicle, determining whether a seatbelt of the vehicle is buckled, determining whether there is a potential threat to the vehicle, and if the vehicle is in park, an occupant is in the vehicle, the seatbelt is buckled, and there is a potential threat to the vehicle, activating defensive measures.
