A partition assembly for a vehicle can include a partition member, a platform member, and a drawer. The partition member can extend along a first axis, have a first side surface and a second side surface, and define a storage area and a prisoner area. The platform member can be coupled to the first side surface of the partition member and can extend from the partition member along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The drawer can be coupled to the platform member and can be slidable between an open position and a closed position along the second axis.

A barrier to partition the interior of a vehicle is disclosed, comprising an extendable barrier configured to adapt to the dimensions of the interior of a vehicle via one or more sliding tracks. At least one connection apparatus is releasably connected to the extendable barrier to at least one seat of the vehicle. The connection apparatus comprises a screw unit to compensate for varying angles within the interior of the vehicle and to retain the extendable barrier on the seat of the vehicle.

A suspended mounting anchor can include an anchor body configured to be disposed on a first surface of a B-pillar and a clamp member configured to be disposed on a second, opposing surface of the B-pillar. The anchor body can include one or more bosses extending from a surface of the anchor, each boss having an inner bore including a threaded portion. The clamp member can be coupled to the anchor body such that a wall of the B-pillar is disposed between the anchor body and the clamp member.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting physical threats approaching a vehicle. External sensors on a vehicle capture the environment around the vehicle. Approaching targets detected by the external sensors can be fed into a neural network to recognize and/or classify approaching targets as potential threats. Tracking mechanisms (e.g., Kalman filters, Particle filters, etc.) can leverage temporal information to determine if a threat is approaching a vehicle. When an approaching threat is detected, a vehicle can activate one or more counter measures to deter the threat. When a vehicle includes autonomous driving capabilities, counter measures can include automatically attempting to drive away from an approaching threat.

A barrier door may include a section including an outer stationary portion and an inner movable portion disposed within the outer stationary portion, an actuator, and a controller. The actuator may move the inner movable portion between different positions to control flow of air between a protective enclosure and a volume outside of the protective enclosure. The controller may monitor one or more operating characteristics of the actuator and may modify an operational status of the actuator to control the flow of the air between the protective enclosure and the volume outside of the protective enclosure based at least in part on the one or more operating characteristics.
