Provided is a wire assembly for an anti-pinch sensor for a vehicle electrically connecting the anti-pinch sensor installed on one side of a door for the vehicle to detect the pinch between the door and a vehicle body with a controller configured to control an opening or closing of the door. The wire assembly includes: a lead wire unit connected to the anti-pinch sensor; a center wire unit having one end connected to the lead wire unit and installed on a folded portion of the door; and a connection wire unit having one end connected to the other end of the center wire unit, having the other end connected to the controller, and drawn out to the outside from the inside of the door through the door.

A vehicle doorway camera includes vehicle doors and a vicinity of the doors in a cabin within an imaging range. A vehicle interior monitoring ECU is provided with a gravity center calculating section and a determining section. The gravity center calculating section calculates an occupant's gravity center position included in a captured image. The determining section determines whether or not the gravity center position is included in a keep out area provided in the vicinity of the doors. A loudspeaker issues an alarm inside the cabin when it is determined by the determining section that the gravity center position is included in the keep out area.

A passenger communication lighting display on or adjacent a touch bar on a passenger door of a transit vehicle comprises a display that can be controlled to display multiple colors continuous or blinking, and a control means causing the display to be dark when the door is closed, the display to be a first color when the operator has authorized opening, the display to flash a second color when the passenger has requested the door be opened, the display to be blinking the second color when the door is opening, the display to be continuously the second color when the door is resting in the open position, and the display to be blinking a third color while the door is closing.

A barrier door for a protective enclosure includes a lower section and an upper section. The upper section includes an outer stationary portion and an inner movable portion disposed within the outer stationary portion. The outer stationary portion and the inner movable portion are light transmissive. The inner movable portion is movable in a vertical direction and is coupled to a lift device disposed in the lower section. The lift device is configured to move the inner movable portion between a lowered position in which the inner movable portion is at least partially withdrawn into the lower section to form an opening in the upper section and a raised position in which the inner movable portion is extended to close the opening.

An information processing apparatus includes a first acquisition unit that acquires first sensing data from a first sensor that performs sensing of an object outside a vehicle, a presentation control unit that generates presentation information based on the first sensing data and causes a presentation device present in the vehicle to present the presentation information, a second acquisition unit that acquires input data for presentation of the presentation information via an input device present in the vehicle, and a boarding control unit that controls boarding of a person on the vehicle according to the input data acquired by the second acquisition unit.

A leaning-against-vehicle door detection system includes an imager and a determination device. The imager has an image pickup range including a door of a vehicle and the vicinity of the door inside a vehicle cabin. The determination device determines whether or not there is a passenger or luggage leaning against the door, from an image picked up by the imager.

A sliding window assembly includes a frame with a track, and a sliding window portion disposed in the frame and displaceable in the track between a closed position and an open position. The sliding window portion includes a handle pivotable between a lock position and a slide position, and a driving pin coupled with the handle and engaging the track. The driving pin defines a pivot axis for the handle. A guide pin spaced from the driving pin is selectively engageable with the track when the handle is pivoted from the lock position to the slide position. With the handle in the slide position, the sliding window portion is displaceable from its closed position to an open position.

The system comprises a lever (2) that is rotatable about a point fixed to the vehicle and articulately joined to the upper edge (6) of the leaf (1); a horizontal guide (3) through which a carriage (4) slides; push-pull means (10,11) that articulately link the upper edge (6) to the carriage (4); and actuation means (12) simultaneously linked to the lever (2) and the carriage (4), which are adapted to distribute their action on the lever (2) and the carriage (4) depending on the force to overcome in order to open and close the leaf (1), such that their action is automatically distributed on the lever (2) when greater power is required to move the carriage (4), this is essentially during the initial opening operation from the end closing position, and during the closing and locking operation from an imminent closing position.

Aspects of the present invention relate to hinge apparatus (3-n) for supporting an aperture closure member (4). The hinge apparatus (3-1, 3-2) (3-n) is configurable in at least first and second configurations. The hinge apparatus (3-1, 3-2) (3-n) includes a first hinge bracket (10) (10) and a second hinge bracket (11) (11). A first hinge linkage member (15) is pivotally mounted to each of the first and second hinge brackets (10, 11) (10, 11). A second hinge linkage member (16) (16) is pivotally mounted to each of the first and second hinge brackets (10, 11) (10, 11). A latching mechanism (25) (25) is provided for selectively latching the hinge apparatus (3-1, 3-2) (3-n). The latching mechanism (25) (25) is operable to inhibit movement of the first and second hinge linkage members (15, 16) (15, 16) relative to each other to latch the hinge apparatus (3-1, 3-2) (3-n). The present invention also relates to a carrier assembly for carrying an aperture closure member (4); and a vehicle (1) having a carrier assembly.

The present invention relates to a vehicle control device provided in a vehicle and a control method of a vehicle. A vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a beam output unit for irradiating light to a road surface of a periphery of a vehicle, and a processor for sensing whether an object approaching toward a vehicle door is present or not via a sensing unit provided in the vehicle when a control command for opening the vehicle door is received after the vehicle stops, and, controlling the beam output unit so that information notifying the object approaching toward the vehicle door is irradiated to the road surface of the periphery of the vehicle door in a state in which the vehicle door is closed based on the presence of the object approaching toward the vehicle door.
