Adaptive Vehicle Door Control Modes for Obstacle Avoidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle door control systems often result in collisions with obstacles when automatically opening or closing, leading to potential damage and poor comfort due to the lack of adaptive control modes.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine the target control mode for a vehicle door based on the distance to an obstacle, employing fully automatic, semi-automatic, and assistive modes to safely open or close the door, preventing collisions and enhancing comfort by adapting control according to detected signals and distances.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic door controlling is adopted, then the comfort of the vehicle is improved, but the door might collide with obstacles and be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the door control mode (fully automatic, semi-automatic, or assistive) based on the real-time distance between the door and obstacles. When the distance is large, fully automatic mode provides high comfort; when the distance is small, the system switches to semi-automatic or assistive mode to prevent collision, thus adapting the control strategy to changing conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously detects the distance between the door and obstacles using sensors, and uses this feedback information to determine the appropriate control mode. The controller adjusts the door control strategy based on the detected distance, ensuring safe operation while maintaining comfort when conditions permit
2Ease of operation
If fully automatic door control is used, then the comfort is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The door control function is segmented into three distinct modes (fully automatic, semi-automatic, and assistive mode), each with different levels of automation. The system selects the appropriate mode based on distance conditions, breaking down the complex control problem into manageable segments with clear control logic for each

AI summary
Disclosed are a vehicle and a controlling method and device therefor. The controlling method includes: acquiring a first distance between a door of the vehicle and an obstacle in an environment where the door is located; determining a target controlling mode of the door according to a first target distance interval to which the first distance belongs, wherein controlling modes of the door include a fully automatic mode, a semi-automatic mode and an assistive mode; and controlling the door according to the target controlling mode. By using the method, in the controlling of the door, different controlling modes are adopted according to the distance between the door and an obstacle, and the door is controlled according to the corresponding controlling mode, whereby the door can be opened or closed safely, and the door can be controlled to be opened or closed in different manners, which improves the comfort.
