VEHICLE HAVING DOOR WITH OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE
A vehicle having powered door assist includes a plurality of powered doors, each powered door having an actuator for moving the door between closed and open door positions, and a plurality of sensors located on the vehicle for sensing objects proximate to the vehicle including one or more potential passengers expected to enter the vehicle and for sensing an obstacle within or proximate to a swing path of at least one of the plurality of powered doors. The vehicle also includes a controller determining an estimated weight of the one or more potential passengers, detecting expected height of the plurality of powered door with the estimated weight added to the vehicle, detecting height of a sensed obstacle within the swing path of one of the powered doors and determining whether the expected height of the one powered door will interfere with the sensed obstacle in the swing path.
Barrier control system
A barrier control system running a program thereon, the barrier control system including a main body, a control unit disposed within at least a portion of the main body to execute the program to control operations of the main body, and at least one control device connected to the control unit to control operations of the main body through the control unit based on the program.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPENING BOARDING DOOR
The present disclosure provides a method of opening a boarding door of a vehicle that provides use of a trunk room to a passenger reserving the trunk room. The method comprises keeping the boarding door closed until both a first condition and a second condition are satisfied and opening the boarding door or enabling the boarding door to be opened in response to both the first condition and the second condition being satisfied. Here, the first condition is that the passenger is in the vicinity of the boarding door. The second condition is that the trunk door is closed or that a reservation of the trunk room is cancelled.
System and method for adjusting a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body
A system for adjusting a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body including an adjusting device, a control device for controlling the adjusting device. The control device is configured to receive an operating command and control the adjusting device based on receiving the operating command, and a sensor device for detecting an object. The control device is configured to evaluate for the purpose of collision protection monitoring whether an operating command is received in a near area relative to the vehicle door via an operating device. For collision protection monitoring, the control device is configured to use a first recognition area in a first operating mode upon receiving an operating command via an operating device in the near area, and in a second operating mode to use a second recognition area different from the first recognition area when an operating command is not received in the near area.
Methods and Systems for Opening of a Vehicle Access Point Using Audio or Video Data Associated with a User
Methods and systems for opening an access point of a vehicle. A system and a method may involve receiving wirelessly a signal from a remote controller carried by a user. The system and the method may further involve receiving audio or video data indicating the user approaching the vehicle. The system and the method may also involve determining an intention of the user to access an interior of the vehicle based on the audio or video data. The system and the method may also involve opening an access point of the vehicle responsive to the determining of the intention of the user to access the interior of the vehicle.
Security door
A security door configured to provide controlled access through a doorway wherein the security door of the present invention includes all elements to offer a touch-less entry and further provide compliance with building codes and visual surveillance. The security door of the present invention includes a door member being hingedly mounted on a doorway. The door member includes an integrally mounted controller that is operably coupled to a communications network via a network module and communications cable. The controller is operably coupled to a card scanner module and a switch module that operate to provide verification of an individual and move the door member to an open position. The door member further includes an integrally mounted power supply and at least one camera module wherein the camera module is operable to capture photographic images. A light module and egress module are integrally mounted to the door member.
SEQUENCE RECOGNITION FROM VIDEO IMAGES
Methods, systems, and apparatus for an image recognition system. The image recognition system includes a memory. The memory is configured to store multiple sequences of movements of multiple standard objects. The image recognition system includes a sensor. The sensor is configured to capture image data of a surrounding environment. The image recognition system includes a processor. The processor is coupled to the memory and the sensor. The processor is configured to recognize an object in the image data. The processor is configured to determine a movement of the object based on the image data. The processor is configured to compare the movement of the object in the image data to a sequence of movements of a standard object of the plurality of standard objects, and determine that the object is a living being based on the comparison.
Vehicle having door with obstacle avoidance
A vehicle having powered door assist includes a plurality of powered doors, each powered door having an actuator for moving the door between closed and open door positions, and a plurality of sensors located on the vehicle for sensing objects proximate to the vehicle including one or more potential passengers expected to enter the vehicle and for sensing an obstacle within or proximate to a swing path of at least one of the plurality of powered doors. The vehicle also includes a controller determining an estimated weight of the one or more potential passengers, detecting expected height of the plurality of powered door with the estimated weight added to the vehicle, detecting height of a sensed obstacle within the swing path of one of the powered doors and determining whether the expected height of the one powered door will interfere with the sensed obstacle in the swing path.
Method for controlling door movements of the door of a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle component
A method for controlling door motions of a controllable door of a motor vehicle, wherein a control device and a sensor arrangement are assigned to the door, and the door includes a controllable motion influencing device. A motion of a door wing of the door can be controlled and influenced by the motion influencing device to alternate between a closed position and an open position. The sensor arrangement includes a surround sensor and monitors the surroundings of the door. The control device captures the signals from the sensor arrangement and evaluates the movement of an object in the surroundings of the door relative to the door and actively moves the door wing of the door, to prevent a collision with the object or to reduce its effects.
VEHICLE HAVING IMAGING DEVICE FOR PET DETECTION AND CONTROL
A vehicle is provided that includes an imaging device located on the vehicle and oriented to capture images, memory storing one or more pet profiles, and a controller processing the captured images to detect a pet and determining at least one of an estimated pose of the pet and a gait of the pet, wherein the processor determines a bone structure of the pet from the at least one estimated pose and gait and compares the bone structure to the one or more pet profiles to detect an authorized pet, the controller controlling one or more vehicle related features based on the detected authorized pet.
