Forward Facing Wheelchair Containment and Occupant Retention System
- 详细技术说明

- *Abstract
-
The purpose of this system is to contain wheelchairs and retain wheelchair seated passengers when they travel in large accessible transit vehicles (LATVs). Wheelchair and scooter users will be using this system in a forward facing direction and having their brakes on/power turned off. No additional brackets are required on the wheelchair to use this system. This system can be used independently by wheelchair users that ride in LATVs.This system includes: a rearward opening to allow access by the wheeled mobility device by moving the wheeled mobility device forward relative to the orientation of the wheeled mobility device; a forward barrier positioned opposite the rearward opening and connected to the vehicle to limit forward motion of the wheeled mobility device, the forward barrier including at least one energy absorbing member, and at least a first lateral barrier to limit lateral motion of the wheeled mobility device to a first side.
