Since this operator also has other work to visually check the front side of the autonomous driving bus, he usually gets on the front side of the second pillar located on the front side of the door for getting on and off.

Therefore, the operation panel provided with the emergency brake button or the like operated by the operator in an emergency or the like is arranged on the front side of the second pillar. That is, at least the emergency brake button must be positioned so that the operator can always press it, and the operator must always be in a position where the emergency brake button can be pressed.

Further, in general, the door for getting on and off is enlarged due to its convenience. Therefore, when another vehicle or the like collides sideways with the entrance / exit door, the entrance / exit door may be significantly deformed toward the vehicle interior side. Therefore, it is desirable that passengers in wheelchairs get on the front side or the rear side of the door for getting on and off, that is, the front side of the second pillar or the rear side of the third pillar.

However, for example, when passengers in wheelchairs ride side by side on the front side of the second pillar, it becomes difficult to take a space for the operator to ride on the front side of the second pillar. Therefore, in this case, the operator must board on the rear side of the second pillar and on the front side of the third pillar (between the second pillar and the third pillar), and more than the second pillar. It becomes difficult to press the emergency brake button located on the front side.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a shared vehicle that can protect passengers in a wheelchair even in the event of a side collision and at least reduce operator access failure to the emergency braking operation tool.

Next, the operation of the bus 10 having the above configuration will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, at least the head (preferably the upper body) of the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 who is riding in the front wheelchair space 32 set on the floor surface 30 in a backward posture is a pair of left and right first pillars 22. It is located in a high-strength region of the passenger compartment 18 surrounded by a pair of left and right second pillars 24.

Similarly, at least the head (preferably the upper body) of the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 who is riding in the rear wheelchair space 34 set on the floor surface 30 in a forward posture is a pair of left and right third pillars 26 and a pair of left and right third pillars 26. It is located in the high-strength region of the passenger compartment 18 surrounded by the fourth pillar 28.

Therefore, the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 who is riding in the front wheelchair space 32 and the rear wheelchair space 34, respectively, is not easily affected by the deformation of the vehicle body 12 (boarding / alighting door 20) at the time of a side collision, for example. That is, even when the bus 10 is laterally collided with another vehicle (not shown), for example, the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 who is on the bus 10 can be protected.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the side view, the maximum distance D2 between the first pillar 22 and the second pillar 24 in the front-rear direction and the maximum distance D3 between the third pillar 26 and the fourth pillar 28 in the front-rear direction are , The distance between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 in the front-rear direction is narrower than D1. Therefore, the area of the passenger compartment 18 surrounded by the pair of left and right first pillars 22 and the pair of left and right second pillars 24, and the passenger compartment surrounded by the pair of left and right third pillars 26 and the pair of left and right fourth pillars 28. Each of the 18 regions can be a higher strength region.

Conversely, in side view, the distance D1 between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 in the front-rear direction is the maximum distance D2 and the third pillar between the first pillar 22 and the second pillar 24 in the front-rear direction. It is wider than the maximum distance D3 between 26 and the fourth pillar 28 in the front-rear direction. That is, the width of the entrance 16 provided between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 in the front-rear direction is relatively wide. Therefore, the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 can easily get on and off the bus 10, and the load of the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 at the time of getting on and off can be reduced.

Further, when the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 is riding in the front wheelchair space 32 in a backward posture, there are the following advantages. That is, when getting off from the entrance 16 provided on the bus 10, not only the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 in the forward posture who got on the rear wheelchair space 34 but also the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 in the backward posture who got on the front wheelchair space 32. P can also operate the wheelchair 90 in a forward posture. Therefore, the convenience of the bus 10 in the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 can be improved.

Further, when the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 gets on both of the front wheelchair spaces 32 set on the left and right in this way, it becomes difficult for the operator Pt to get on between the first pillar 22 and the second pillar 24. Become. Therefore, the operator Pt inevitably rides in a standing position between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 (on the rear side of the second pillar 24 and on the front side of the third pillar 26). (See FIG. 2).

Here, when the operation panel 44 is arranged horizontally like the support bracket 42 as in the bus 100 according to the comparative example shown in FIG. 11, the passenger gets on between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26. It is difficult for the operator Pt (see FIG. 2) to press the emergency brake button 46 provided on the operation panel 44 (it is difficult to reach the emergency brake button 46).

However, in the bus 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation panel 44 is arranged so as to be inclined forward and upward with respect to the support bracket 42. Therefore, even the operator Pt who is riding between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 can easily press the emergency brake button 46 provided on the operation panel 44 (the emergency brake button 46 can be easily reached). ..

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the poor access of the operator Pt to the emergency brake button 46 in an emergency. Moreover, the reduction of the access defect can be realized by a simple configuration in which the operation panel 44 is tilted forward and upward with respect to the support bracket 42.

Further, when the operator Pt gets on between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 in this way, even if the second pillar 24 on the left side is provided with the auxiliary seat 40, the right side is used. Similar to the second pillar 24 and the third pillars 26 on both the left and right sides, the anchor 70 can be exposed from the optimum position of the floor surface 30 around the second pillar 24.

That is, the optimum positions of the floor surface 30 around the second pillar 24 on the front side of the front end of the door 20 and the floor surface 30 around the third pillar 26 on the rear side of the rear end of the door 20 for getting on and off. In other words, the anchor 70 can be exposed from a portion of the floor surface 30 surrounded by the virtual line K1, the virtual line K2, and the virtual line K3, and as close as possible to the virtual line K4.

Therefore, the anchor 70 does not interfere with passengers other than passenger P in wheelchair 90, and there is no risk that passengers other than passenger P in wheelchair 90 will stumble at the anchor 70. Then, the operator Pt riding between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 can easily engage the locked portion 82 of the lashing belt 80 with the anchor 70.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 8, the pressing portion 88 (see FIG. 10) is inserted into the gap (insertion port) between the main body portion 72 of the anchor 70, the front overhanging portion 74, and the rear overhanging portion 76. The direction is the vehicle width direction. That is, the locked portion 82 of the lashing belt 80 is inserted into the gap (insertion port) of the anchor 70 from the inside or the outside in the vehicle width direction.

Therefore, it becomes easier for the operator Pt to engage the locked portion 82 of the lashing belt 80 with the anchor 70. Further, since only one lashing belt 80 is required for each wheelchair 90, the working time can be shortened. Then, even if an inertial force toward the front side acts on the wheelchair 90, for example, when the bus 10 suddenly brakes, the locked portion 82 of the lashing belt 80 is hard to come off from the anchor 70.

That is, even if an inertial force toward the front side acts on the wheelchair 90, the wheelchair 90 moves forward (for example, in the case of a passenger of the rearward wheelchair 90 who is in the front wheelchair space 32, the wheelchair 90 The front wheel 98 is lifted) can be suppressed or prevented by the lashing belt 80.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the gap (insertion port) between the main body portion 72 of the anchor 70 and the front side overhanging portion 74 and the rear side overhanging portion 76 is opened in the vehicle width direction. The screws 75 are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction and attached. Therefore, as compared with the configuration in which the screws 75 are mounted side by side in the front-rear direction, it is not necessary to take a long width W in the front-rear direction of the base member 68 for the strength for mounting the screws 75, and the base member 68 is mounted in the front-rear direction. The width W can be shortened. Therefore, the weight of the bracket 60 can be reduced.

Around the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26, a side reinforcement 51, a second cross reinforcement 52, a third cross reinforcement 53, and a fourth cross reinforcement 54 are connected. 50, front side reinforcement 57, and rear side reinforcement 58 are arranged, and the reinforcement is densely packed. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently secure the strength of the portion to which the bracket 60 is fixed.

The bus (shared vehicle) 10 according to the present embodiment has been described above with reference to the drawings, but the bus (shared vehicle) 10 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the one shown in the drawing, and is not limited to the one shown in the drawing. The design can be changed as appropriate within the range that does not deviate from the gist. For example, the operation panel 44 may be connected to the front end of the support bracket 42 so as to be adjustable in angle.

Further, even the operator Pt who is riding between the second pillar 24 and the third pillar 26 can operate the emergency brake button 46 arranged between the first pillar 22 and the second pillar 24. The configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the operation panel 44 having the emergency brake button 46 is arranged so as to be tilted forward and upward at a predetermined angle.

Further, the front seat 36 and the rear seat 38 may be configured to be expandable and retractable. That is, by setting the front seat 36 and the rear seat 38 in the retracted posture, the front wheelchair space 32 and the rear wheelchair space 34 on which the passenger P of the wheelchair 90 rides may be secured, respectively.
