The method includes receiving a verification communication that verifies a presence of the vehicle relative to a sensor associated with the movable barrier. The method further includes causing a movable barrier operator associated with the movable barrier to move the movable barrier between closed and open positions in response to the check-in identifier indicating authorization to access the facility and in response to receiving the verification communication. Further, the method includes selecting a particular loading dock from the plurality of loading docks and communicating a loading dock identification representative of the particular loading dock to the user device to direct the vehicle to the particular loading dock.

Described is an electronic delivery door for permitting passage of an object between an interior and an exterior of a structure through an opening defined in the structure, the delivery door comprising: a door panel; a hinge assembly including: one or more hinges for securing the door panel within the opening of the structure and for permitting the door panel to move between a closed position and an open position by rotation of the one or more hinges, wherein: in the closed position, the opening is covered by the door panel; and in the open position, the one or more hinges have been rotated to permit passage of objects through the opening; and an electronic security device configured to selectively permit opening of the door panel.

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.

A door closer assembly for an entryway device having a position sensor that assists in determining the location of the door closer assembly, and thus the location of the associated entryway device, relative to at least an entryway. The position sensor can be coupled to, and/or part of, the door closer assembly. Information obtained by the position sensor may be used by one or processing devices of an access control system to determine whether the door closer assembly and/or the entryway device is at the closed location, among other locations, as well as the direction(s) of displacement of the entryway device. Such information may be utilized in calibrating other devices, as well as determining the occurrence of a number of events, including unauthorized displacement or holding of the entryway device. A timer may also be utilized to further evaluate the nature of the displacement of the entryway device.

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.

Disclosed is a device for opening/closing an opening element of a motor vehicle by detecting movement of a users limb, the device including an approach and/or contact detection sensor including a single electrode and an analyzer for analyzing the variations in capacitance of the electrode, and an opening element opening/closing control unit. The device also includes: a sealed housing including first and second metal surfaces; and a unit for detecting a predetermined form of the variations of the electrode, exhibiting a succession of a predetermined number of peaks of predetermined amplitude within a predetermined period; the first and second surface being separate, and the electrode being located outside the sealed housing, in such a way that the electrode is coupled electrically to the at least one first surface and to the at least one second surface so as to create at least two approach and/or contact detection areas.

A system and method of controlling components of a vehicle are disclosed. The method includes the steps of sensing a current position of a rear closure panel with a closure panel position sensor, sensing a speed of the vehicle with a speed sensor, and sensing a current environmental condition with an environmental precipitation sensor. The method also includes adjusting a degree of openness of at least one window as a result of the closure panel position sensor indicating that the rear closure panel is in an open position, the speed sensor indicating that a speed of the vehicle is greater than zero kilometers per hour (kph), and the current environmental condition that is indicated by the environmental precipitation sensor.

A system for providing contactless movement of a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body including an electric-motor movement device for moving the vehicle door, a radar sensor system for detecting, in the region of the vehicle door, a gesture to be performed by a user, and a control device for controlling the movement device according to a detection by the radar sensor system. The radar sensor system is configured to detect, in a first operating mode, a movement in a detection region in an environment of the vehicle door and to detect, in a second operating mode, a gesture for moving the vehicle door, the radar sensor system being configured to switch to the second operating mode when a movement is detected in the first operating mode.

A system for a vehicle having an accessory positioned along the vehicle. The system may also include a sensor located along the vehicle in wireless communication with the accessory, wherein the sensor triggers activation of the accessory based on input from an external source.

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.
