Abstract
A method is provided for activating a pedestrian protection system of a vehicle. The method includes a step of carrying out a first threshold value comparison, in the first threshold value comparison at least one signal feature of a first sensor signal being compared to an adaptation threshold value, a step of determining a threshold value adaptation value based on a result of the first threshold value comparison, and a step of carrying out a second threshold value comparison. In the second threshold value comparison, at least one signal feature of a second sensor signal is compared to a triggering threshold value, which is adapted using the threshold value adaptation value, for triggering the pedestrian protection system.
