Abstract
Various embodiments include a system for a vehicle having a body a door held on the body and pivotable about a pivot axis. An example includes: an obstacle identification system to detect a collision event occurring between the door and an object within surroundings of the vehicle; and a sensor pivotably held on the body, the sensor having a field of vision covering an angle about the pivot axis in plan view along the pivot axis. The field of vision covers a subregion of a total monitoring region of the obstacle identification system, wherein the field of vision is smaller than the total monitoring region.
Claims18
A system for a vehicle having a body a door held on the body and pivotable about a pivot axis, the system comprising:
- an obstacle identification system to detect a collision event occurring between the door and an object within surroundings of the vehicle;
- a sensor pivotably held on the body, the sensor having a field of vision covering an angle about the pivot axis in plan view along the pivot axis;
- wherein the field of vision covers a subregion of a total monitoring region of the obstacle identification system, wherein the field of vision is smaller than the total monitoring region;
- the sensor is secured to the door and can pivot together with the vehicle door;
- the angle about the pivot axis is 45° or less;
- the total monitoring region corresponds to a sum of the angle and a maximum opening angle of the door about the pivot axis;
- and/or
- the sensor comprises an optical sensor with a resolution of 20,000 pixels or less.
A vehicle comprising:
- a body;
- a door pivotably held on the body;
- an obstacle identification system to detect a collision event occurring between the door and an object within surroundings of the vehicle;
- and
- a sensor pivotably held on the body, the sensor having a field of vision covering an angle about the pivot axis in plan view along the pivot axis;
- wherein the field of vision covers a subregion of a total monitoring region of the obstacle identification system, wherein the field of vision is smaller than the total monitoring region;
- the sensor is secured to the door and can pivot together with the vehicle door;
- the angle about the pivot axis is 45° or less;
- the total monitoring region corresponds to a sum of the angle and a maximum opening angle of the door about the pivot axis;
- and/or
- the sensor comprises an optical sensor with a resolution of 20,000 pixels or less.
A system for a vehicle having a body a door held on the body and pivotable about a pivot axis, the system comprising:
- an obstacle identification system to detect a collision event occurring between the door and an object within surroundings of the vehicle;
- a sensor pivotably held on the body, the sensor having a field of vision covering an angle about the pivot axis in plan view along the pivot axis;
- wherein the field of vision covers a subregion of a total monitoring region of the obstacle identification system, wherein the field of vision is smaller than the total monitoring region;
- the sensor comprises an optical line sensor with two or more pixels arranged next to each other in a line;
- and
- a sensor length in the line direction corresponds at least to twice a sensor width transverse to the line direction.
A system for a vehicle having a body a door held on the body and pivotable about a pivot axis, the system comprising:
- an obstacle identification system to detect a collision event occurring between the door and an object within surroundings of the vehicle;
- a sensor pivotably held on the body, the sensor having a field of vision covering an angle about the pivot axis in plan view along the pivot axis;
- wherein the field of vision covers a subregion of a total monitoring region of the obstacle identification system, wherein the field of vision is smaller than the total monitoring region;
- and
- the obstacle identification system comprises a control device to capture sensor data during the pivoting of the vehicle door for a plurality of angular positions of the vehicle door and to assemble said data into a three-dimensional image of the surroundings.
