Abstract:
A gesture access and object impact avoidance system for a motor vehicle, includes a radar signal assembly configured to be mounted to the motor vehicle and to transmit radar signals and detect reflected radar signals, and a processor to operate in (i) a gesture access mode, when the motor vehicle is not moving or is disabled from moving, by controlling an access closure actuator to lock, unlock, open or close an access closure of the motor vehicle if an object is within a sensing region of the radar signal assembly and exhibits a predefined gesture, and (ii) an object impact avoidance mode, when the motor vehicle is moving or enabled to move, by activating a warning device or controlling an impact avoidance device actuator if an object is within a predefined distance of the radar signal assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A gesture access and object impact avoidance system for a motor vehicle, comprising:\n at least one radar signal transmitter configured to be mounted to the motor vehicle and, when activated, to emit radar signals, at least one radar signal receiver configured to be mounted to the motor vehicle and to produce radar detection signals, the radar detection signals including at least one reflected radar signal if at least one of the emitted radar signals is reflected by an object toward and detected by the at least one radar signal receiver, at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one radar transmitter and the at least one radar receiver, the at least one processor programmed to activate the at least one radar signal transmitter and to be operable in either of (i) a gesture access mode to control an actuator associated with an access closure of the motor vehicle to lock, unlock, open or close the access closure if an object within a sensing region of the at least one radar signal receiver exhibits a predefined gesture, and (ii) an object impact avoidance mode to activate a warning device or control an actuator associated with an impact avoidance device of the motor vehicle if an object is within a predefined distance of the at least one radar signal receiver, and at least one memory having instructions stored therein which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to operate in the gesture access mode if the motor vehicle is disabled from moving, and to operate in the object impact avoidance mode if the motor vehicle is moving or enabled to move.
