A door system for a vehicle includes a vehicle body structure having an opening to an interior compartment of the vehicle and a door structure. The door system includes a displacement mechanism that displaces the door structure in relation to the opening between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position the door structure covers at least a portion of the opening, and in the open position is at a distance from the closed position in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body structure. The door structure comprises a recess configured to receive at least a section of a wheel envelope of a wheel. The recess allows a door part of the door structure to cover the wheel in close vicinity to the vehicle body structure in a lateral direction of the vehicle body structure and prevents the wheel from contacting the door structure.

A door assist system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises an actuator configured to control a position of the door about a hinge assembly. An interference sensor forms a portion of a door opening seal and is configured to detect an obstruction in a plurality of detection regions. The system further comprises a controller configured to control the actuator in response to a detection signal from the interference sensor.

A vehicle door includes a belt structure and a rigid handle having a rigid base and a rigid outer grip portion. The rigid outer grip portion includes a portion that is spaced apart from the base to form a gap. The base of the handle is rigidly connected to the belt structure whereby the outer grip portion of the handle does not move relative to the belt structure. The vehicle door may include a powered door opening mechanism that moves a portion of the door away from a vehicle body when actuated.

A door includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a window assembly including a window. The inner wall is configured to engage with a cab of a vehicle. The outer wall is coupled to the inner wall and spaced apart from the inner wall to form an interior cavity. The door is configured to move between a closed position in which the inner wall is engaged with the cab and an open position in which the inner wall is separated from the cab. In the closed position, at least a portion of the interior cavity is configured to be disposed outboard from the cab in a lateral direction. The window is slidably engaged to the door and configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position. In the retracted position, the window is at least partially disposed in the portion of the interior cavity.

A mobile dwelling includes a chassis supported by one or more axles, a shelter frame mounted to the chassis, a plurality of panels supported on the shelter frame enclose a living space. Positioned within the chassis, a plurality of battery modules are operatively isolated from the one or more axles and are adapted to selectively output power for charging a battery pack of an electric tow vehicle. A method for charging an electric vehicle includes providing a mobile dwelling, towing the mobile dwelling with an electric vehicle from a first location to a second location, coupling the battery modules with the electric vehicle and charging the electric vehicle.

A door control device stops a door such that the door does not come into contact with an obstacle existing in a rotation range of the door. The door control device includes: a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance from the door to the obstacle; a speed calculation unit configured to calculate an actual speed of the door; a braking force setting unit configured to set a braking condition indicating transition of a braking force applied to the door; a speed estimation unit configured to estimate transition of an estimated speed of the door from start of braking until the door stops; and a braking force correction unit configured, during braking, to correct a braking force such that the braking force is increased, or reduced, when a time gradient of the actual speed is gentler than, or steeper than, that of the estimated speed.

An adjustment assembly for use in a vehicle, including an adjustable part configured to move between an open position and a closed with respect to a vehicle body. The adjustable part may include an outer side and an inner side. At least a portion of the adjustable part may define an opening extending between the outer side and the inner side. The adjustment assembly may include an ultrasonic transmitter, disposed on either the adjustable part or the vehicle body and may be configured to emit a number of ultrasonic waves to an obstacle, and an ultrasonic receiver disposed on the inner side of the adjustable part and configured to receive the ultrasonic waves reflected from the obstacle through the opening.

A vehicular slide door apparatus includes a guide rail forming a sliding path. A cutout portion in a side wall portion of the sliding path forms an insertion opening for a guide roller. The apparatus includes a fixing portion at a first end portion in the cutout portion, a positioning portion at a second end portion in the cutout portion, a closing member that includes a fixed end fixed to the fixing portion and a free end positioned by the positioning portion and that closes the insertion opening, and a fulcrum forming portion forming a rotation fulcrum for the closing member. The fulcrum forming portion generates biasing force of displacing the free end outward. The free end is positioned in contact against the positioning portion located on an outer side of the sliding path. Thereby, the free end and the side wall portion form a continuous sliding contact surface.

A motor vehicle includes a ramp, a sliding door that when open allows the ramp to be deployed from the vehicle, and an anti-rattle device to prevent or reduce rattling of the ramp against the door or other components of the vehicle when the ramp is in a stowed position. The anti-rattle device includes an arm pivotable relative to the door and a roller rotatably coupled to the arm, spaced apart from the door, and configured to contact the ramp.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a vehicle having a passenger assistance system for facilitating ingress and egress of passengers. The vehicle may include a plurality of wheels. The vehicle may include a body including at least one doorway supported on the plurality of wheels via a suspension. The vehicle may include a door movable between an open position and a closed position covering the at least one doorway. The vehicle may include a first platform movable between a horizontal position beneath a bottom of the doorway and a stowed position parallel to the door. The vehicle may include an occupant compartment within the body. The occupant compartment may include a seat rotatable to face the doorway in an ingress or egress mode. The occupant compartment may include a robotic arm configured to extend along an ingress or egress path through the doorway.
