摘要： Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed towards systems and methods for providing improved access to vehicles for physically challenged individuals. In one exemplary embodiment, a wheelchair access system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a first track and a second track, the first and second tracks being located on opposite sides of the frame assembly. The system also includes a ramp formed of a porous structural member disposed between a first skin member and a second skin member. The ramp has a first edge portion with one or more rollers attached thereto and a second edge portion having one or more rollers attached thereto. The one or more rollers on the first and second edge portions travel within the first and second tracks, respectively, of the frame assembly. The system further includes a drive motor engaging a first rotatable drum member and a second rotatable drum member. The drive motor is configured to rotate the first and second drum members in first and second directions based on a direction of a current flowing through the drive motor. The system still further includes a first cable engaging the first drum member and a second cable engaging the second drum member. The first and second cables are coupled to the ramp such that the first and second cables move the ramp from a stowed position to a deployed position during rotation of the first and second drum members in the first direction.
