To protect a pedestrian by appropriately mitigating impact onto the head of the pedestrian even when the head of the pedestrian with whom an own vehicle has collided moves in any of left and right directions in a bonnet hood.SOLUTION: A pedestrian protection system 11 comprises: a hood pop-up device 29 which performs driving for changing the attitude of a bonnet hood 15 provided on an own vehicle such that it is sprung upward; an information acquisition section 41 for acquiring target information including a pedestrian MA present in the travel direction of the own vehicle; a collision prediction section 43 for identifying the pedestrian MA with whom the own vehicle is predicted to collide on the basis of the target information acquired by the information acquisition section 41; and a drive control section 45 which performs the drive control of the hood pop-up device 29 so that the bonnet hood 15 is positioned into such an attitude as to mitigate impact onto the head of the pedestrian MA identified by the collision prediction section 43. The bonnet hood 15 is positioned into such an attitude as to be inclined with respect to the left and right direction of the own vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】自車両が衝突した歩行者の頭部がボンネットフードにおける左右いずれかの方向へ向かう場合であっても、歩行者の頭部への衝撃を適切に緩和して歩行者を保護する。【解決手段】歩行者保護システム11は、自車両に備わるボンネットフード15の姿勢を上方へはね上げるように変更する駆動を行うフードポップアップ装置29と、自車両の進行方向に存する歩行者MAを含む物標情報を取得する情報取得部41と、情報取得部41で取得した物標情報に基づいて自車両が衝突すると予知される歩行者MAを特定する衝突予知部43と、衝突予知部43で特定した歩行者MAの頭部への衝撃を緩和する姿勢にボンネットフード15を位置付けるようにフードポップアップ装置29の駆動制御を行う駆動制御部45と、を備える。ボンネットフード15は、自車両の左右方向に対して傾斜する姿勢に位置付けられる。【選択図】図1
