Abstract
A colliding object determination device for a vehicle having a bumper reinforcement member () includes a sensor () and a determination circuit (). The sensor () is located in a front portion of a vehicle for measuring a collision state quantity correlating with a collision load generated in a collision of a colliding body with the vehicle. The determination circuit () determines whether the colliding body is a pedestrian based on the measured collision state quantity. The sensor () is located on an upper half region of a front end face of the bumper reinforcement member (). Thus, accuracy of discriminating the pedestrian from other objects can be improved.
