The present technology provides a cargo adapter that can be inserted into a passenger compartment of a mixed-use vehicle that can be anchored to existing anchor points in the vehicle. The cargo adapter can then receive, secure, and support a cargo locker in a way that safely secures the cargo and avoids wear on the interior surfaces of the passenger compartment. The present technology further provides a system for transporting a cargo locker to a vehicle and inserting the cargo adapter and cargo locker into the vehicle quickly and easily.

Systems, devices, methods and computer program products for extendable conveyors are provided. A system includes an extendable conveyor and a separation module. The extendable conveyor is operable to convey items from an upstream side of the extendable conveyor to a downstream side of the extendable conveyor. Further, it is configured to increase the distance from the upstream side to the downstream side. The separation module is operable for conveying items towards the extendable conveyor and configured to decelerate the conveying of the items on the separation module.

A first set of dimensions can be derived corresponding to a real-world space and a second set of dimensions can be derived corresponding to a first physical item in the real-world. Further included is deriving a virtual representation of the real-world space from the first set of dimensions in a virtual environment and deriving a virtual representation of the first physical item from the second set of dimensions in the virtual environment. The virtual representation of the real-world space is represented as a hollow space, and the virtual representation of the first physical item is represented as a solid item that is user-manipulatable within the virtual environment and the virtual representation of the real-world space.

A delivery vehicle includes a vehicle body, an opening that is provided at the vehicle body, that is configured to be opened and closed by a shutter section, and that is configured to place a cabin interior and a cabin exterior in communication with each other, a housing area that is provided at the cabin interior and that is configured to house a package, a rail that is provided at the cabin interior, and a transfer unit that is configured to move along the rail and to transfer the package between the housing area and the opening.

An equipment loading assembly for supporting and facilitating the loading of electronic equipment from a first position (e.g., from resting on the ground) to a second position (e.g., into a truck or automobile), and the subsequent unloading of the equipment from the first position to the second position is provided. The equipment loading assembly includes an upright back support structure and a lower support structure extending laterally outward from a lower portion the upright back support structure. The upright back support structure includes one or more stops to prevent the electronic equipment from sliding in a vertical direction, and the lower support structure includes one or more front feet to prevent the electronic equipment from sliding in a horizontal direction. The loading assembly also may include a wheel support structure that enables one or more wheels to engage with a ground surface for rolling the loading assembly.
