Embodiments herein are directed to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a passenger compartment and a master controller. The passenger compartment has a plurality of rear passenger seats disposed on a track. Each seat of the plurality of rear passenger seats is configured to move on the track. The master controller is configured to receive a first data from a wheelchair and to direct a movement of each seat of the plurality of rear passenger seats along the track. In response to receiving the first data, the master controller actuates at least one actuator to move at least one of the plurality of rear passenger seats along the track to provide a transportation space for the wheelchair based on the first data received from the wheelchair.

Systems and methods for communication between wheelchairs and vehicles

Methods, systems, and apparatus for a route optimization system. The route optimization system includes a sensor configured to detect a location of one or more pedestrians. The route optimization system includes a processor. The processor is coupled to the sensor and configured to obtain a start location and a destination location for a vehicle or a personal device. The processor is configured to determine pedestrian traffic flow between the start location and the destination location based on the location of the one or more pedestrians. The processor is configured to determine multiple routes between the start location and the destination location and determine an optimal route based on the pedestrian traffic flow. The processor is configured to provide the optimal route to a user.
