Abstract
According to one aspect, vehicle power door operation is described herein. A first accelerometer may be mounted to a first portion of a vehicle and a second accelerometer may be mounted to a second portion of the vehicle. A motor controller may control a power operation of a door of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) may receive a first measurement from the first accelerometer, receive a second measurement from the second accelerometer, determine an orientation of the vehicle relative to a reference plane based on the first measurement and the second measurement, determine any movement of the vehicle relative to the reference plane based on the first measurement and the second measurement, and adjust the power operation of the power door by the motor controller based on the determined orientation and the determined movement.
