Abstract

Technologies are described herein for detecting obstructions, utilizing an obstruction detection system. According to one aspect of the disclosure, the system includes a moveable assembly (120) that includes a moveable structure (150) moveable between a stowed and operational configuration and has a leading surface (206) facing a direction of movement when the moveable structure (150) is moving between the stowed and operational configurations. A protective panel (150) is attached to the moveable structure (150) and has an outer surface (204) separated from the leading surface (206) by an over-travel distance (230). A proximity sensor (170) detects a displacement of the protective panel (160) towards the leading surface (206). A control module (130) is responsive to at least one proximity sensor (170), such that when the proximity sensor (170) detects the displacement of the protective panel (160) towards the leading surface (206) of the moveable structure (150) so as to shorten the over-travel distance, the control module stops the movement of the moveable assembly.
