Vehicle safety system for protecting pedestrians has reversible safety device activated by first activated sensor near front fender; subsequently operated sensor is near leading edge of hood

摘要

The system has force sensors (2,4) on the vehicle's front whose signals are transferred to an electronic evaluation device for activating at least one safety device. The vehicle has at least one reversible (8) and one irreversible (9) safety device. The reversible device is activated by the signals of the sensor (2) that is first activated, which is near the front fender (1). A subsequently operated sensor (4) is near the leading edge of the hood.
