Abstract
System for controlling vehicular doors includes an initiation system that initiates door opening or closing based on action by an individual that controls vehicular access, and a door control system associated with each door. At least one of the door control systems opens or closes the associated door in response to detection of an action by the individual. The initiation system may include an interrogator that detects the presence of a key fob unique to the vehicle, and the door control systems open or close the doors only when the key fob is determined to be within a threshold distance to the vehicle for a threshold duration. The interrogator may be configured to direct each door control system to open or close the associated door based on a direction of a responsive signal from the key fob such that the door closest to the key fob is controlled.
