Abstract
A door system for a vehicle is disclosed, which enables a vehicle door to operate selectively in both sliding and swinging modes. The system includes a hinge mechanism and an electromagnetic locking unit that controls the transition between the two movement types. This dual-mode functionality improves accessibility, space efficiency, and emergency egress capabilities.
