Abstract (en)

The method for opening an automatic two-leaf door includes sub-dividing a movement area into a series of adjacent movement zones (M 1 ... M x ) and into a series of adjacent presence zones (P 1 ... P x ), distributed regularly in a transversal direction to a door area such as to cover a whole width of the area; and independently monitoring each of the zones (M 1 ... M x ), (P 1 ... P x ) by means of a specific motion sensor (A 1 ... A x ) and respectively (B 1 ... B x ) exclusively dedicated to monitoring movement of persons or things in the respective zone; sending the signals of the sensors (A 1 , A x ), (B 1 ... B x ) to a logic circuit which commands activation of the movement means of at least a door leaf such as to cause it respectively to open, up to involving all of a width occupied by the activated sensors (A 1 ... A x ) and inhibit closure thereof if one of the sensors (B 1 ... B x ) is activated.
