An automated vehicle door control system is described that facilitates preventing contact between the door and an external object upon door opening. For example, a vehicle can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, comprise a contact zone component, an object monitoring component and a control component. The contact zone component generates a contact zone surrounding the vehicle wherein the contact zone comprises an area outside the vehicle when doors of the vehicle are fully extended. The object monitoring component that identifies a moving object not within the contract zone that is moving towards the contact zone. The control component determines a point in time when the moving object will enter the contact zone and limits the opening of the vehicle door to reduce the contact zone to avoid collision.
