Method for operating pedestrian protection system for reducing accident severity during front collision with pedestrian in motor vehicle, involves evaluating measuring data of detection devices by safety systems

摘要

The method involves evaluating the measuring data of the detection devices (8,9) by safety systems (10,11) depending on an actuation condition. The actuation condition has a platform break through criteria evaluated depending on measuring data of a three-dimensional optical detection device, where it is tested whether a collision object breaks through a vertical place cutting an engine hood (4) of the motor vehicle along a line that has a predetermined distance to the front end of a motor vehicle (1). Measuring data of two detection devices, particularly the optical detection device and a collision sensor (13), are evaluated in line with the actuation condition. An independent claim is included for a motor vehicle with an optical detection element.
