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 13):
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 signal transmitter and to the at least one radar signal receiver, and configured to activate the at least one radar signal transmitter, 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:\n monitor at least one vehicle operating parameter signal produced by at least one vehicle operating parameter sensor or switch, \n if the monitored at least one vehicle operating parameter signal satisfies a first vehicle operating condition, operate in a gesture access mode by monitoring the radar detection signals to determine whether an object is within a sensing region of the at least one radar signal receiver and, if so, controlling at least one actuator associated with an access closure of the motor vehicle to lock, unlock, open or close the access closure if the object within the sensing region exhibits a predefined gesture, and \n if the at least one vehicle operating parameter sensor signal satisfies a second vehicle operating condition different from the first vehicle operating condition, operate in an object impact avoidance mode by monitoring the radar detection signals to determine whether an object is within a predefined distance of the at least one radar signal receiver and, if so, at least one of activating at least one warning device and controlling at least one actuator associated with at least one impact avoidance device of the motor vehicle.
