    Abstract: An automatic vehicle-door activating sensing system and a method therefor are provided. The system includes: a distance sensing antenna module and an activating antenna module for generating signals; a processor generates a first distance information, a second distance information, and a activating information according to the signals. When the first distance information is less than a distance threshold and a waveform of the activating information changes, the processor generates and transmits a ready-to-activate signal to an in-vehicle system. When the second distance information is greater than the distance threshold, the processor generates and transmits a vehicle door activating signal to the in-vehicle system. The in-vehicle system can activate the vehicle door after receiving the signals in sequence. With one radar, the invention can automatically activate the vehicle door based on a user's position and kicking behavior, thereby preventing misoperation caused by detection.
