Abstract

According to a method for controlling an automatic door of the present invention, even when an accidental condition occurs due to some obstacle clogging a traveling lane of the door, the door can move at a high speed to its deceleration point so as to immediately enable a man to go through the door opening, while the door is prevented from colliding at a high speed against the obstacle repeatedly to make it possible to increase both the durability and safety of the door.
