A separating element for a platform cabin comprises at least one leaf subjected to a return force toward its open position, and, for the or each leaf, a return member for returning the leaf toward its closed position and comprising a first end articulated at an articulation point movable jointly with the leaf. This return member also comprises a second end mounted movably relative to the partition between an active position and an inactive position, such that when the leaf is open and the second end is in the active position, the return member exerts, on the leaf, a return force returning the leaf toward its closed position, and when the leaf is open and the second end is in the inactive position, the return member is in a second configuration in which it does not exert a force returning the leaf toward its closed position.

A vehicle control system includes an in-vehicle device, a mobile terminal, and one or more processors. The in-vehicle device is mounted on a vehicle. The in-vehicle device controls a lock mechanism that locks and unlocks a door of the vehicle. The in-vehicle device causes the lock mechanism to unlock the door in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied. The mobile terminal communicates with the in-vehicle device. The one or more processors determine whether the mobile terminal is present inside a vehicle compartment. The one or more processors detect whether the mobile terminal is used. The one or more processors control the vehicle control system not to satisfy the predetermined condition in response to determination that the mobile terminal is present inside the vehicle compartment.

A motor vehicle door lock arrangement comprising a door handle module with a door handle, wherein the door handle can be actuated by a first actuation, wherein door locks each comprise an actuation element, whereby the first actuation is transmitted to the actuation elements, wherein the first actuation comprises a first actuation stroke. It is proposed that the first actuation stroke is divided into a first and a second stroke section, the first stroke section being followed by the second stroke section, and that during the first actuation stroke of the door handle the actuation elements are actuated during the first stroke section of the first actuation stroke and are not actuated during the second stroke section of the first actuation stroke.

A button assembly for a release system comprises a housing and an actuator coupled to the housing and translatable along a first axis. The actuator comprises a contact surface configured for engagement by an operator to translate the actuator along the first axis, and a rack gear extending along the first axis and away from the contact surface. The button assembly further comprises a pinion gear coupled to the housing and rotatable about a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis. The pinion gear is meshed with the rack gear and with the extension member coupled to the pinion gear. The mesh between the pinion gear and the rack gear facilitates rotation of the pinion gear as the rack gear translates, with the rotation of the pinion gear facilitating movement of the extension member and movement of the latch between the engagement and disengagement positions.

A vehicle door lock device includes: a remote control device that is provided in the middle of an operation transmitting system between a lock device, which binds a door of a vehicle such that the door becomes not able to move, and a door handle, in which a connection member that absorbs an excessive operation force by being elastically deformed in a direction in which the operation force is transmitted is interposed between a transmitting member that transmits an operation force input to the door handle and an input lever on the remote control device side to which the operation force is input via the transmitting member.

An automated child safety unlocking system which disengages she child safety locks and may unlock the vehicle door in appropriate circumstances such as when the vehicle ignition has been turned to the off position or when engine is stopped. The automated child safety unlocking system enables operability of the interior vehicle doors by an occupant to allow unencumbered egress from the vehicle to prevent a child or other individual from being trapped in the vehicle. The result is reduced risk that children or other vehicle occupants become dangerously entrapped within an overly hot, cold, or dangerous vehicle.
