An apparatus for activating a pedestrian (600) detection and collision mitigation system (PDCMS) of a vehicle (700) includes: an engine management system (EMS) acquiring speed information of the vehicle (700) in real-time; an image collecting unit (300) recognizing a pedestrian (600) positioned within a driving lane of the vehicle (700) and detecting information of a relative speed or a distance between the pedestrian (600) and the vehicle (700), when a speed of the vehicle (700) is greater than or equal to a set speed; and an electronic control unit (ECU) activating a PDCMS function based on a mapping table using the speed information of the vehicle (700) and information of a motion or a distance of the pedestrian (600) with respect to the vehicle (700), and controlling a warning unit (500) to inform a driver of a collision of the pedestrian (600) with the vehicle (700). The PDCMS function includes activating an operation of an active hood, activating an operation of the warning unit (500), and activating an operation of a brake regardless of whether the driver operates the brake. The activation of the operation of the warning unit (500) and the activation of the operation of the brake comprise, in order:activating the operation of the warning unit (500), activating a partial braking of the vehicle (700), and activating a full braking of the vehicle (700).
