A method of controlling a vehicle to increase pedestrian protection comprises monitoring data from a plurality of sensors with an electronic control unit and determining a probability that a detected object proximate to the vehicle is a pedestrian. A first warning is provided to the pedestrian with at least one of an audible and visual warning. A second warning is provided to the pedestrian with at least one of an audible and visual warning when the pedestrian moves closer to the vehicle. The second warning has increased intensity compared to the first warning. Finally, at least one vehicle action is provided to mitigate an accident when the pedestrian continues in proximity to the vehicle following the second warning.
