Can you retrofit the door opening assistant in the vehicle?

For a few years now, luxury vehicles in particular have been increasingly complete automatically opening doors. Mention should be made here of, for example 2020 Rolls Royce Ghost or the new one Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. Yet there is such a system available for everyone to use upgrade? Maybe from a third party? Basically you can do that with one JA answer! However, less from the rubric auto Tuning, but rather with regard to special conversions for people with physical disability. For example, there is the variant of the Swing door. This enables the rear side door of a four-door vehicle to be opened and closed automatically. A special one is installed for this Swing door drivethat opens and closes the rear side door at the push of a button. By means of integrated Emergency release the door can still be operated manually. Pneumatic versions are also relatively similar. Often such systems can also work with a Remote Control to be controlled.

electrically opening doors

And for the front doors? At least there is Accessories nothing, that with a Authorization is equipped and in Plug-and-Play Process can be built. Jaguar did with that Mobility Door System already worked on a similar system, but so far it is not available for retrofitting. The “Mobility Door” was a prototype door from 2018 and opened access automatically as soon as you approached the vehicle. The system could also be operated by gesture control or at the push of a button. The prototype used various motion sensors and technologies from keyless entry systems for activation. When you approached the car, the “Mobility Door” automatically opened the driver's door. And automatically opening doors are also available for non-disabled vehicle owners Advantage.

Especially if you don't have a free hand to unlock and open the door. Also one do-it-yourself retrofitting is self-directed theoretically conceivable. For example with powerful electric servomotors or a special one Gas pressure damper. However, this would also have to be a manual Allow opening and closing without impairment. Such a project should in any case advance be contacted with a testing organization if the vehicle should be on the road again later. As easy as the retrofitting of an electric tailgate is that by the doors does not. But it is conceivable and maybe not impossible. The Mad Mohs Safari Kar has such a door, for example. If something anders than we might imagine.

How now !? For us, the system from the Rolls-Royce or Maybach zu linked at the beginning would be conceivable integrate. Whether and to what extent this is technically feasible, of course, has to be discussed with a Specialist workshop, and as already mentioned, with a The testing organization to be clarified. The costs are also likely to be immense.

Intelligent door system from Continental received the CES 2019 Innovation Award

Continental has been one of the pioneers in the manufacture of intelligent vehicle doors. Safety and comfort are important manufacturing and development criteria for the company. Modern technologies such as a Door braking system or the autonomous door not only allow more convenient opening and closing, no, they also prevent too rough Slam the vehicle door and automatically detect obstacles to prevent scratches or dents. The autonomous door system is also playing an increasingly important role in autonomous driving, because vehicles without a driver also have to open the doors at all times open automatically and schließen can.

Due to its future-oriented functions, an intelligent door system from Continental was implemented in the year 2019 in the category "Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technologies"As part of the opening event of the" CES Unveiled New York ", a world-renowned consumer electronics show, with the CES Innovation Awards .

CES Award for future-oriented, safe and comfortable mobility

For Continental, the award was not just a confirmation of that successful work of the development team, but also Incentive for future developments. The company's primary goal is to be able to make future driving safe and comfortable for all road users. For a better illustration, Continental presented in the course of the Consumer Electronics Show 2019 in Las Vegas the latest developments of the company to the public.

Smart autonomous door paves the way to autonomous driving

The autonomous door system had cutting edge technologies. The start and access system HAPPENS opened the doors automatically and without touching at the right time and on the right side. The Power door control function assisted opening and closing the doors and offered one Anti-trap protection. The door also had one obstacle detectionwhich stops the door immediately as soon as an obstacle is detected.

Im Assistant mode the manual operation of the door was supported by the system and the effort of the user was increased minimized. This function also made opening the door much more convenient on slopes. This function makes it easier for children and the elderly in particular to get in and out. Other functions like the Slam protection or End position damping offered additional comfort and relieved can Body mechanics.

Extended protection for all road users thanks to the intelligent door system

The intelligent door system guaranteed smooth opening and closing of the doors. Nevertheless, the doors could close any point in time for sure locked will. Controlled by sensors obstacle detection the door stopped automatically and collisions or damage could be effectively prevented. However, Continental was the sum of all developments and technologies only through close cooperation with partner companies such as Warren Industries, Stabilus or inteva is possible.
