Abstract: A method for controlling at least one door system for separating an entrance side in front of the door system from an exit side behind the door system, with the door system (100) being configured with a sensor unit for detecting at least one person within a sensor detection region, and furthermore an authentication device for authenticating people is provided at least on the entrance side in front of the door system. The method includes the following steps: granting an access authorization to the person by the authentication device, detecting the position of the authenticated person by the sensor unit in the sensor detection region, continuously tracking the person in the sensor detection region by the sensor unit and activating an opening of the leaf element of the door system by the door drive when the authenticated person approaches the at least one leaf element.
