System and method for driving scenario configuration

The present invention relates to a vehicle access system () having a tracking means () for tracking a positional movement pattern of a user (D) relative to a vehicle (). A controller () is provided for controlling the opening and/or closing of a vehicle opening (). The controller () communicates with a storage device () and the tracking means (). The controller () has a comparator () for comparing the positional movement pattern with one or more pre-defined movement maps stored in the storage device (). The controller is configured to open the vehicle opening when the comparator () determines that the positional movement pattern corresponds to a first of the pre-defined movement maps. Alternatively, or in addition the controller can be configured to close the vehicle opening when the comparator () determines that the positional movement pattern corresponds to a second of said pre-defined movement maps. The invention also relates to a method of opening/closing a vehicle opening.
