The invention relates to a method for generating a triggering signal (AS) for a pedestrian protection device consisting in determining and evaluating sensor data (a(10), a(20)). According to said invention, when a collision with an object is identified, according to said sensor data (a(10), a(20)), characteristics are generated and evaluated in such a way that the object mass (m<SUB>o</SUB>) and/or the hardness thereof (D<SUB>o</SUB>) are determined, wherein said triggering signal (AS) for the pedestrian protection device is generated if the determined object mass (m<SUB>o</SUB>) and/or the hardness thereof (D<SUB>o</SUB>) are situated within a triggering range representing a collision with a pedestrian. |
