An extendible ramp for entrance to or egress from vehicles, such as buses, includes sensors arranged to detect whether the ramp abuts an obstruction. The ramp assembly comprises a chassis, a ramp extendible from the chassis, a frame which carries the chassis and a sensor arranged to sense movement of the chassis relative to the frame. The chassis is mounted in the frame such that it moves relative to the frame in response to both abutment of the leading edge of the ramp against an obstacle and in response to vertical force applied to the top of the extended, or partially extended ramp. The chassis also moves relative to the frame in response to a force applied to the side of the extended or partially extended ramp. |
