Wireless ramp communication system

Abstract

A ramp assembly is provided for use to accommodate a wheel-chaired passenger to enter or exit a motorized vehicle. The ramp assembly includes a ramp platform movably coupled to a ramp housing, a first controller configured to control movement of the ramp platform between a first position and a second position, and a second controller coupled to the ramp platform. The second controller is in electrical communication with the first controller. A first inductive charger is coupled to the ramp housing and disposed in electrical communication with the first controller, and a second inductive charger is electrically coupled to the second controller. In the first position, the first inductive charger is electrically coupled to second inductive charger to provide electrical power to the second controller. In the second position, the first inductive charge is electrically decoupled from the second inductive charger.
