Zusammenfassung:A door protection system 1 for protecting the doors 5A-D of a vehicle 3. The door protection system 1 includes a processor 7 configured to receive obstruction data identifying the position of one or more obstructions in relation to the vehicle 3. The processor 7 determines the proximity of each vehicle door 5A-D to the obstruction and outputs a notification signal based on the determined proximity or a notification signal is generated if an estimated trajectory of another vehicle detected will impinge on the vehicle 1. In an alternate arrangement, the door protection system 1 is configured to monitor one or more vehicle systems to determine when a vehicle occupant is preparing to open the vehicle door 5A-D. The processor 7 is configured to display a video image from one or more on-board cameras 11, 13 in dependence on monitoring one or more vehicle systems.
