A safety arrangement on a vehicle includes a pedestrian detection system. The system has a first accelerometer (9) mounted on a item such as a bumper which is yieldably mounted to the chassis of the vehicle at the front of the vehicle. There is a second accelerometer (12) located on a second structure which forms part of, or which is less yieldably mounted on the chassis of the vehicle. An evaluation unit (17) receives signals from the two accelerometers to generate a control signal which can be used to deploy the safety arrangement. |
