A door handle device for a vehicle includes a handle body configured to be rotationally operated, an output lever configured to be operated in a plane parallel to a rotation axis of the handle body, a clutch member; and a detection member. The clutch member is configured to move translationally in a plane parallel to an operating surface of the output lever, configured to be driven by the handle body in a rotational operation direction of the handle body, and configured to move between a connected location and a disconnected location along a rotation axis of the handle body.

A retention mechanism for a pair of bi-parting doors of a transit vehicle includes a first track connected to a first door of the pair; a second track connected to a second door of the pair; a first retention assembly connected to the transit vehicle and configured to retain the first track in the closed position; a second retention assembly connected to the transit vehicle and configured to retain the second track in the closed position; a first engagement member connected to the second track, the first engagement member being configured to engage the first retention assembly to cause the first retention assembly to move to retain the first track in the closed position when the second track is in the closed position; and a second engagement member connected to the first track, the second engagement member being configured to engage the second retention assembly to cause the second retention assembly to move to retain the second track in the closed position when the first track is in the closed position.

A vehicle cover release interlock system includes a latch mechanism and a lock device. The latch mechanism is adapted to move from a latched position to an unlatched position upon actuation of a lever of the latch mechanism. The lock device includes a Bowden cable that extends from the latch mechanism. The Bowden cable is coupled to the lever when the lock device is in a lock position preventing actuation of the lever, and is uncoupled from the lever when the lock device is in an unlock position.
