Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for busses having air distribution at the front of the bus through a distribution system integrated with the dashboard and outlet vents shaped and oriented to provide clearing of mist and frost from vehicle windows, particularly those in and around an entry to the vehicle. A dedicated blower for an entry way door is provided.

Driver/entry ventilation system for a bus

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for busses achieve improved air distribution by the use of ducts to distribute the air throughout the passenger compartment. The ducts have a varying cross sectional area so that the impedance to air flow appears constant at all points along the duct. The quantity of air distributed from each of a plurality of vents is substantially even is effectively equalized.

Ventilation system for a bus

This invention is an improved park position locking system for controlling the conditions for removing an automatic transmission gearshift from a PARK position. An electronic system controller and the transmission controller are engaged to a common data bus . Vehicle control system comprises the electronic system controller (ESC) , which is the primary component of a vehicle electronic control system. ESC manages and communicates with a number of vocational controllers disposed on a vehicle and executes a load management program which oversees the total load imposed on the vehicle electrical system and power train by various accessories installed on the vehicle . Such communication is by a standard communication protocol that may be the SAE J1939 protocol over the common data bus . The ESC is programmed to ensure that an operator of the vehicle may not move the gearshift out of a PARK position without first depressing a service brake pedal. The ESC prevents or allows movement of the gearshift through a solenoid operated locking mechanism engaged to the gearshift
