SYSTEM FOR PROTECTION OF A VULNERABLE ROAD USER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SYSTEM

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a system (4) of a vehicle (2) for protection of a vulnerable road user, the system (4) comprising a remote sensor (8), a contact-based sensor (14) and a pedestrian protection means (16, 18),the method comprising the steps of:- scanning a region in front of the vehicle by means of the remote sensor in order to detect a target object (6),- if a target object is detected, classifying the target object into an object category based on information from the remote sensor,- selecting the selectable fire interval of the evaluation algorithm using the object category as input,- if an impact is detected by the contact-based sensor, the contact-based sensor sending information about the impact to the evaluation algorithm,- the evaluation algorithm evaluating if the signal is within the selectable fire interval, and in that case activating the pedestrian protection means.;The disclosure further relates to the system and a vehicle comprising the system.
