A boundary position, which determines the range of the positions of the window within which trap prevention control is disabled, is set according to the sum of a first amount of rotation and a second amount of rotation. The first amount of rotation approximates a change, in a reference amount of rotation, that corresponds to a change in a detected voltage from a reference voltage. The second amount of rotation is set to a value that is smaller than the difference between a specific amount of rotation at a stop and the reference amount of rotation and is larger than the amount of variations in the reference amount of rotation.

A barrier operator includes a motor, a controller operably connected to the motor, a sensor, and a control module. The motor is couplable to a drive mechanism of a barrier and is configured to move the barrier between open and closed positions. The sensor is configured to monitor an operating parameter of the barrier operator associated with movement of the barrier. The control module includes user input controls. The controller is configured to receive a first user input from the control module; initiate, in response to receipt of the first user input, operation of the motor for a first movement of the barrier to establish a first travel limit of the barrier; receive a first signal indicative of the operating parameter from the sensor; and generate, during the first movement of the barrier, a first force limit based on the first signal from the sensor.

An opening-closing body controller includes a motor body that opens and closes an open-close body, a control unit that controls and drives the motor body, and an inner temperature detector that detects an inner temperature of the motor body. The control unit performs an entrapment detection process in a section excluding a mask section that is set from a fully closed position of the open-close body to a preset position in an opening direction of the open-close body. The control unit corrects the mask section in accordance with the inner temperature of the motor body detected by the inner temperature detector.

An open roof assembly for use in a vehicle roof of a vehicle comprises a movably arranged closure member for closing an opening in the vehicle roof and a pinch detection module for detecting a pinch of an object between the closure member and an edge of the opening. The pinch detection module is operatively coupled to receive an input signal and is configured to detect the pinch based on said input signal and a threshold. The pinch detection module is configured to dynamically determine the threshold based on the input signal.

A method for state-based maintenance of an access device of a vehicle, in particular of a public transport vehicle, wherein the access device includes a moveable element and an electric drive for moving the moveable element and is attached to the vehicle. The drive is controlled with control signals, wherein actual state signals for describing the state are generated based on a detected state of the access device. The control signals are applied to a physical simulation model for computationally simulating the access device and determining expected target state signals and wherein based on a comparison between the actual state signals and associated target state signals, a maintenance state of the access device is determined. The simulation model is adjusted based on the comparison between the actual state signals and the associated target state signals.

This pinching detection device of a power window is provided with: a sensor electrode provided in a windowpane; a position-detecting electrode that opposes the sensor electrode; and a control unit. The size of an opposing surface area between the sensor electrode and the position-detecting electrode increases as the windowpane is raised. The control unit detects pinching of foreign matter on the basis of a change in capacitance in the sensor electrode and detects a position in the windowpane on the basis of the change in capacitance.

An open-roof assembly for a vehicle roof comprises a moveably arranged closure member having a drive assembly and a control unit with a pinch detection unit. The pinch detection unit comprises a first pinch detection system, a second pinch detection system and a predetermined reference. Each of the first and second pinch detection systems comprises a tracker module configured to compare the movement of the closure member and the reference, the tracker module allowing a tolerance between movement and reference; a deviation module configured to determine a deviation, if the tolerance is exceeded; and pinch determination module configured to determine that a pinch occurs, if the deviation in movement exceeds a threshold. The tolerance of the first pinch detection system is smaller than the tolerance of the second pinch detection system. The threshold of the first pinch detection system is higher that the threshold of the second pinch detection system.
