PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a pedestrian protection system (10) for a motor vehicle (1) comprising at least one collision detection sensor for detecting a collision involving a pedestrian (18) and the motor vehicle (1). The pedestrian protection system (10) comprises an actuator (3), which can be controlled by an actuating signal (CRASH, FIRE), for raising an engine hood (4) of the motor vehicle (1), and the pedestrian protection system (10) comprises a controller (2) for determining the actuating signal (CRASH, FIRE) according to a temporal mean value (v0SO1) of a quantity (aSO1), which is measured by means of the collision detection sensor, over at least one first time interval ([t0- tau 0,t0]).
