A ramp includes a plate member. The ramp is formed from a carbon fiber-reinforced resin having a longitudinal elastic modulus in the bridging direction of 50+ GPa, and a connecting section that connects the plate member which plate member can be divided into two in a plane perpendicular to the plate member and parallel to the bridging direction. A reinforcement part forms a plurality of hollow segments arranged single file along the bridging direction of the plate member. The cross section shape perpendicular to the direction of extension of the hollow segments is trapezoidal, the height of the trapezoid is 10 to 50 mm, the base angles are 45° to 90°, the width of the plane that contacts the trapezoidal plate member is 100 to 10 mm, and derailment preventing walls connect to portions of plate member side end faces and hollow segment side end faces.

A height adjustable wheelchair docking system for releasably securing a wheelchair to the floor of a transport vehicle includes: a base frame with an open end, and for rigid attachment to the floor of a transport vehicle; a middle frame for sliding back and forth in a horizontal direction within the base frame and through the open end; means to slide the middle frame in relation to the base frame; and a top frame for covering at least a part of the base frame and middle frame, and to move up and down in a vertical direction in relation to the base frame when the middle frame is sliding back and forth in a horizontal direction within the base frame and through the open end. The top frame further includes a female or male docking fixture for locking engagement with a male or female docking fixture on a wheelchair.

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.
