Abstract: A flush mounted door handle lever is at least partly received in a recess of a housing secured to a door panel using a reinforcement panel bonded to the door panel, with the recess aligned with holes through the door panel and reinforcement panel. Locator pins on the reinforcement panel register the hole therethrough with the hole through the door panel. Clips on the reinforcement panel enable quick mounting of the housing and door handle lever. The recess leaves an opening at one end of the door handle lever for insertion of at least one finger. A sensor detecting an outward pull on that end of the door handle lever may also function as a bump sensor, with either movement selectively triggering an electromechanical door actuation. Symmetrical housings and reinforcement panels allow mounting of the door handle with either orientation, as on adjacent “suicide” doors.

Abstract: A system for operating a door of a vehicle is disclosed. The system may include an actuator configured to move the door between an open position and a closed position. The system may also include a controller configured to determine a first open-door angle associated with a predetermined first velocity profile, determine a second open-door angle based on the open position relative to the closed position, determine a second velocity profile based on the first open-door angle, the second open-door angle, and the first velocity profile, and control the actuator to operate the door according to the second velocity profile.
