Abstract
An active hood latch device for a vehicle may actively reduce a pedestrian injury value by uniformly lifting up a front end portion of a hood of the vehicle by directly popping up a striker in case of a pedestrian collision accident. Such an active hood latch device may include an actuator for generating power for lifting up a striker locked by a passive latch, an actuator cooperating portion installed to connect the striker with the actuator and to lift up the striker in cooperation with the actuator when the actuator operates, and an electronic controller for operating the actuator upon receiving a sensing signal from a collision sensor that senses pedestrian collision.
