    摘要: A computer-implemented method for vehicle exit assistance includes analyzing interior cabin data originating from a vehicle sensing system to detect a position and/or movement of a person in a cabin of a vehicle. The computer-implemented method includes determining, based on the detected position and/or movement of the person, a door opening act indicative of an intention of the person to exit the vehicle. The computer-implemented method includes determining, based on exterior environment data collected from the vehicle sensing system, an object in a vicinity of the vehicle. The computer-implemented method includes determining a vehicle exit score based on the object and the door opening act. The computer-implemented method includes outputting, based on the vehicle exit score, a control signal to a vehicle assistance system of the vehicle to control vehicle exit of the person.

    摘要: A latch device including: a latch mechanism configured to hold a door at a closing position; an electric releasing mechanism configured to release meshing of the latch mechanism; a manual releasing mechanism configured to release meshing of the latch mechanism; and a lock configured to switch between a locked state of the manual releasing mechanism and an unlocked state, wherein the electric releasing mechanism is configured to switch the lock from the locked state to the unlocked state by releasing meshing of the latch mechanism and switch the lock from the unlocked state to the locked state when a rotating cam returns to a reference position by a biasing force of a spring, when the lock is in the locked state and the rotating cam rotates by a predetermined angle in a first direction from the reference position by power of a motor against a biasing force of the spring.

    摘要: A vehicle door structure includes inner and outer door panels, a door handle assembly and an impact pad. The inner door panel has an access opening that extends from an inboard surface to an outboard surface. The door handle assembly has a base portion overlaying an inboard surface of the outer door panel within a door cavity and a lever portion extending along an outboard surface of the outer door panel. The impact pad has a block portion and a projecting portion that extends from the block portion. The block portion overlays and contacts a portion of the outboard surface of the inner door panel adjacent to the access opening. The block portion is in vertical alignment with a portion of the base portion of the door handle. The projecting portion spans a horizontally measured width of the access opening.

    摘要: An outer door panel and an inner door panel are fixed to one another defining a cavity therebetween. A door handle assembly is fixedly attached to the outer door panel, with at least a portion of the door handle assembly overlaying an inboard surface of the outer door panel within the cavity. An inboard portion of the door handle assembly has a connection structure. An upwardly extending bracket within the cavity is fixed to an upper end and a lower end of at least one of the inner door panel or the outer door panel. The upwardly extending bracket is spaced apart from the door handle assembly. A vibration absorbing member has a first end fixed to the connection structure of the door handle assembly and a second end attached to the upwardly extending bracket at a location spaced apart from upper and lower ends of the upwardly extending bracket.

    摘要: An apparatus including a capture device and a processor. The capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames corresponding to an interior view of a vehicle. The processor may be configured to perform operations on the video frames to detect objects in the video frames, detect an occupant of the vehicle and a seat of the vehicle based on the objects detected in the video frames, determine a status of the occupant based on characteristics of the occupant detected in the video frames and generate a signal in response to a comparison of the status of the occupant to a threshold. The characteristics may be determined by performing the operations on the occupant in the video frames. The signal may be configured to control a door lock. The door lock controlled by the signal may correspond to the seat used by the occupant.

    摘要: A door leaf handle for a motor vehicle and an assembly including the handle includes a bracket and a gripping element is movable relative thereto between a rest position, a primary door opening position and a secondary door opening position. At least one breakable stop limits displacement of the gripping element in the primary door opening position if pulling force applied is less than a predetermined force value and configured to break if a pulling force applied on the gripping element exceeds the predetermined value and to allow the displacement of the gripping element beyond the primary door opening position to the secondary door opening position. A primary door opening trigger is activated by displacement of the gripping element in the primary door opening position. A secondary mechanical door opening trigger is activated by displacement of the gripping element in the secondary door opening position.

    摘要: A vehicular door handle assembly for opening a vehicle door is provided and includes a door grip having a forward end and a rearward end, the door grip movable from a resting position where the vehicle door is latched to an actuated position where the vehicle door is unlatched. The assembly further includes a chassis assembly having a forward end and a rearward end. A rear end of the chassis assembly supports a bellcrank rotatably connected to the chassis and connected to the door grip. The bellcrank pivots between a resting position and an actuated position when the door handle is actuated. Further still, the assembly includes a moveable retaining element to retain the bellcrank in a serviceable position where the door grip can be connected to the bellcrank and to release the bellcrank to a functional position where the bellcrank rotates between the resting position and the actuated position.
