LiDAR application solution for smart-door anti-collision

Scenario

Application scenario

Smart-door anti-collision must cover a zone that changes with door motion. LiDAR can provide distance or line-pattern area input but does not independently classify obstacles, control motion, or establish functional safety.

Engineering problem

• The door envelope changes with opening angle and can create blind zones.
• Pedestrians, children, posts, adjacent vehicles, and low objects differ in geometry.
• Sunlight, rain, contamination, paint reflections, and body vibration require vehicle validation.

Why LiDAR

A compact line-pattern LiDAR can provide near-field area input for the body controller to combine with door position and action logic.

Workflow

1. Define the door envelope, target set, and minimum detection zone.
2. Design body mounting, clear line of sight, and door-angle association.
3. Integrate distance or area state into slowdown, stop, and fault logic.
4. Validate real targets, weather, light, contamination, and durability.
