First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for triggering at least one of a pedestrian protection means and a pedestrian warning means for a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting at least one object in a surrounding area of the vehicle;
identifying at least one pedestrian from the at least one detected object;
analyzing a situation as a function of the at least one detected object and a model assumption; and
triggering one of the pedestrian protection means and the pedestrian warning means as a function of the situation analysis, wherein at least one feature of the at least one identified pedestrian is ascertained and the model assumption is one of selected and set up as a function of the at least one ascertained feature.

Abstract
A method is described for triggering pedestrian protection means and/or pedestrian warning means for a vehicle, in which objects in a surrounding area of the vehicle are detected, pedestrians are identified from the detected objects, a situation is analyzed as a function of the detected objects and a model assumption, the pedestrian protection means or pedestrian warning means are triggered as a function of the situation analysis, features of the identified pedestrians are ascertained, and the model assumption is selected or set up as a function of the ascertained features.
