A transportation system includes a multipurpose vehicle in which a loading space for a mobility device and a boarding space for passengers are provided; and a control unit configured to control opening or closing of the loading space, opening or closing of the boarding space, and driving of the vehicle so that, when there is a passenger who possesses or utilizes the mobility device among passengers, opening or closing of the loading space, opening or closing of the boarding space, and driving of the vehicle interwork with each other.

A latch assembly for opening and closing a vehicle luggage room may include: a base installed on an end portion of an opening and closing member to open and close a vehicle luggage room; a power conversion member to convert the rotational force of a drive motor into a linear motion; a claw to grip and restrain the striker when the opening and closing member is closed; a pawl to inhibit the rotation of the claw so that the claw maintains a state of having the striker restrained; an error lever installed to rotate with the pawl and configured to rotate so that the pawl is separated from the claw; and a link member to rotate the claw so that the claw grips the striker, when the power conversion member makes the linear motion.

A method for granting an access authorization for luggage compartments of a vehicle that has at least two luggage compartments, includes booking of a luggage compartment for a journey of the vehicle. At least one of the luggage compartments of the vehicle is assigned to the passenger via a central computing unit such that the passenger receives an access authorization. A request for granting a release of the at least one luggage compartment assigned to the passenger is input into a device. The access authorization of a person inputting the request is checked via a computing unit inside of the vehicle and/or the central computing unit. If checking by the computing unit, the computing unit obtains access authorization data from the central computing unit. If the person inputting the request is authorized, the at least one luggage compartment assigned to the passenger is released.

A closing aid for a luggage compartment flap is described, which closing aid comprises an actuating element, a movement element and a connecting element. The actuating element is integrated in a locking mechanism of the luggage compartment flap. The connecting element connects the actuating element to the movement element and transmits a movement of the actuating element to the movement element such that the luggage compartment flap fastened to the movement element is moved at least part of the way from an open position to a closed position. A luggage compartment and a vehicle having a closing aid of this type are also described.

A method of pivoting an aircraft storage bin that includes a bucket that pivots with respect to an upper housing. The method includes pivoting the bucket from a closed position to an intermediate position and placing weight that exceeds a predetermined weight threshold in the bucket, thereby causing the bucket to move to an open position. Movement of the bucket to the open position causes a lift assist unit to activate. A first end of the lift assist unit is connected to the bucket and a second end of the lift assist unit is connected to the upper housing. The method also includes pivoting the bucket from the open position to the closed position. The lift assist unit provides assistance as the bucket is pivoting from the open position to the closed position.

A latch assembly for opening and closing a vehicle luggage room may include: a base installed on an end portion of an opening and closing member to open and close a vehicle luggage room; a power conversion member to convert the rotational force of a drive motor into a linear motion; a claw to grip and restrain the striker when the opening and closing member is closed; a pawl to inhibit the rotation of the claw so that the claw maintains a state of having the striker restrained; an error lever installed to rotate with the pawl and configured to rotate so that the pawl is separated from the claw; and a link member to rotate the claw so that the claw grips the striker, when the power conversion member makes the linear motion.

The invention relates to a system for covering a luggage compartment having two lateral supports each provided with a guide rail, a stationary panel with a horizontal upper face, a flap mounted to slide on the rails and be movable relative to the supports, the flap comprising a second upper face. The flap is movable between covering the compartment and a position for accessing the compartment in which the flap is moved to allow free access to the compartment. The flap being mounted so that the second face keeps its attitude during the transition from one position to the other. The flap in access position is raised and moved forward to cover the panel.

A method for actuating a motor-driven flap assembly of a vehicle. A control assembly is provided for actuating a motor drive assembly which is paired with the flap assembly, and a distance sensor which is coupled to the control assembly is also provided. Sensor signals are detected by the distance sensor in order to detect an operator action carried out by an operator of the vehicle, wherein the sensor signals are analyzed by the control assembly in an analysis routine in order to detect a specified operator action, and the chive assembly is actuated by the control assembly upon detecting the specified operator action. In some embodiments, when a specified charging criterion is satisfied, the analysis routine is carried out by the control assembly in a specified charging mode, in which the analysis of the sensor signals is modified on the basis of an analysis during a normal operation.

The disclosure relates to a linear drive for an adjustment element of a vehicle, with a drive train for generating a driving force along a geometrical drive axis between two coupling points, one of the coupling points comprising a joint part for discharging the driving force, which joint part, in the mounted state, forms a ball and socket joint with a mating joint part, the joint part having a bearing portion, a joining part arranged thereon and a connecting portion arranged thereon. The connecting portion serves for the connection of at least one drive train component of the linear drive to the joint part and has at least one connecting formation which is in engagement with the relevant drive train component, and wherein at least one part of the bearing portion is configured integrally together with the joining part and the connecting portion from at least one plastics material.
