Abstract: Preventive pedestrian protection systems have significant potential to reduce the number of accidents with pedestrian involvement. However, owing to their high complexity new test methods have to be developed. The new safety functions are validated by means of driving tests reproducing safety-critical traffic situations with pedestrian involvement on a testing ground. This paper presents new control methods for the automated testing of preventive pedestrian protection systems. These include new control algorithms for automated lateral and longitudinal vehicle guidance as well as two different concepts for motion control of a pedestrian dummy. The presented measurement results confirm that the developed methods enable highly accurate and reproducible driving tests.
