Abstract
A pedestrian detection system for a vehicle includes multiple acceleration sensors provided at different positions in a periphery portion of the vehicle, and a calculation unit for performing, based on a signal outputted by a designation acceleration sensor belonging to the multiple acceleration sensors, a determination whether an object colliding with the vehicle is a pedestrian. The designation acceleration sensor is one of the multiple acceleration sensors other than a closest acceleration sensor which is closest of the multiple acceleration sensors to a collision point with which the object has collided.

A pedestrian detection system for a vehicle, comprising:
- multiple acceleration sensors provided at different positions in a periphery portion of the vehicle;
- and
- a calculation unit for performing, mainly based on a signal outputted by a designation acceleration sensor belonging to the multiple acceleration sensors, a determination whether an object colliding with the vehicle is a pedestrian,
- wherein the designation acceleration sensor is one of the multiple acceleration sensors other than a closest acceleration sensor which is closest of the multiple acceleration sensors to a collision portion with which the object has collided.
