A predetermined group of users using one or more computing devices are allowed to join a shared collaboration and communication space associated with the predetermined group of users. The shared collaboration and communication space is associated with the predetermined group of users for a specified time period and for a predetermined operation that the predetermined group of users are authorized to work on. The predetermined group of users are authenticated based on user identities and information identifying the predetermined operation. The shared collaboration and communication space allows for interactive communication among the predetermined group of users.

Shared space for crew communication

A compartment for a transportation device is provided. The compartment may include a one-piece basin, an inflatable wall member, and multi-directional support arms to attach the basin within the transportation device. The one-piece basin may fit through an opening in the transportation device. Methods of installation for installing the compartment within the transportation device are also provided.

One-piece basin for a compartment of a transportation device

A modular environment for a vehicle. The modular environment may include a configurable service space with a mounting system within the vehicle that has a number of modules configured to releaseably engage the mounting system. The module environment also may include a service space control system able to electronically communicate with and identify at least one of the modules. The modular environment may also include an arch framework that supports a number of fixed modules and a number of configurable modules. A further embodiment is shown of a method for using a service space control system that controls a modular environment for a vehicle having a configurable service, and including a mounting system configured to releaseably engage a number of modules in a service space. The service space control system electronically communicates with and can identify at least one of the modules and limit its use to only authorized users.

Customizable service space
