The invention relates to a method for generating a triggering signal (AS) for a device protecting pedestrians, sensor data being determined and evaluated in said method. Also disclosed is a corresponding apparatus. According to the invention, a triggering test and a plausibility test of the sensor data are performed following a recognized collision with an object, characteristics being extracted (110) and/or an offset which determines a point of impact of the object being identified (120) by means of the sensor data during the triggering test in order to detect a pedestrian. The triggering signal (AS) for the device protecting pedestrians is generated when a collision with a pedestrian is recognized during the triggering test and the plausibility test is positive. |
