ABSTRACT:
A method for triggering and transferring a vehicle into a pedestrian preventive safety state to increase the passive safety of the other party in an accident, in which a triggering condition of the pedestrian preventive safety state of the vehicle is generated on the basis of a signal of at least one vehicle sensor, which can indicate a high probability of a vehicle accident, particularly with a pedestrian or a bicyclist, for an immediately imminent time span, and with the presence of a positive triggering condition of the pedestrian preventive safety state, a part or a section of the vehicle, which could inflict additional bodily injury on the other party in the case of an accident with the vehicle, is moved from an area of probable impact with the other party and/or additionally shielded, whereby the vehicle is at least partially transferred to the pedestrian preventive safety state.
