Abstract

A non-contact obstacle detection (NCOD) system and a virtual handle assembly for a motor vehicle and a method of operating the non-contact obstacle detection system and a closure member using a virtual handle assembly are disclosed. The NCOD system includes a main electronic control unit. At least one non-contact obstacle sensor is coupled to the main electronic control unit for detecting obstacles. The control unit is configured to detect the obstacle and cease opening of the closure member in response to the obstacle being detected. Additionally, the control unit is configured to release a latch and apply power to a motor in response to the obstacle not being detected. The virtual handle assembly includes at least one virtual handle sensor for detecting a hand and maintaining a distanceto the hand by operating an actuation system to move the closure member.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] The present patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 460,188, filed February 17, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 554,642, filed September 6, 2017. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to a side door non-contact obstacle detection system and a motorized swing door having a virtual handle assembly capable of gesture control, and methods of operating a non-contact obstacle detection system and a motorized swing door using the virtual handle assembly. Background technique [0004] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
