Claim 0:
1. A method of controlling a movement of a door of a motor vehicle, the door having at least one controller and at least one sensor arrangement associated therewith and the door including a controllable motion influencing device configured to at least partially control and influence a movement of a door wing of the door between a closed position and an open position, the method comprising:
providing the sensor arrangement with one distance sensor in the door wing and capturing with the one distance sensor a distance data during a movement of the door wing;
determining a door angle of the door wing with an angle sensor of the sensor arrangement;
moving the door wing back and forth about a measuring angle by a driving device of the motion influencing device;
carrying out a triangulation with the distance data captured by the one distance sensor in different angular positions of the door wing, as detected by the angle sensor, to determine a position of at least one object in a surrounding area of the door wing,
wherein the driving device is controlled by the controller, in a back and forth motion, to determine the position of the at least one object according to the triangulation from different angular positions of the door wing;

controlling the movement of the door wing, via the controller, based on the results of the triangulation.
