Abstract: The goal of this research is to develop a fuzzy logic-based vehicle door control system to avoid motorcycle–vehicle door crash accidents. Accidents of this nature usually occur when the driver has parked the car, opens the door getting out of the car and collides with a motorcycle approaching from the rear, causing injury to the motorcyclist. In order to prevent such accidents, the fuzzy logic control system inputs the speed (MS) and safety distance (SD) of the motorcycle approaching from the rear, and then the fuzzy inference unit (FIU) calculates the clear output (Crisp) defuzzification Vehicle Door Opening Model (VDOM) value for the central locking system of the car, which can be used to trigger three modes, namely Danger Mode, Caution Mode and Warning Mode. In this study, the VDOM system is designed to trigger reasonable, reliable and consistent door control under different speeds of motorcycles coming from the rear and will be effectively applied to the door control of semi-automatic cars in the future.
