Active pedestrian protection systems enhance the global automotive pedestrian protection system market by protecting pedestrians in vehicle collisions

The passive safety mechanism diminishes the severity of injuries sustained by pedestrians during or after an accident. Components of the pedestrian protection system include airbag control units, acceleration sensors, control units, and actuators.

In terms of type, pop-up bonnets contribute to the global automotive pedestrian protection system market share by aiming to safeguard pedestrians struck by the front of the vehicle

A pop-up bonnet rises during pedestrian accidents, absorbing head impact energy to lessen injury severity, activated by sensors detecting pedestrians.

An automatic braking and collision avoidance system employs radars, sensors, cameras, or lasers to identify potential crashes, warning the driver and activating brakes if necessary. An external airbag system for a vehicle absorbs impact from a frontal collision, significantly enhancing passenger protection within the vehicle.

In terms of component type, sensors play a crucial role in driving the global automotive pedestrian protection system market by detecting human movements

During frontal collisions involving pedestrians, sensors located at the front of the vehicle trigger the system's activation. A control unit receives input from various vehicle components, enabling it to take necessary action. For instance, an airbag ECU processes data from crash and seat sensors.

A camera serves as an impartial observer, recording crucial moments pre- and post-accident, revealing details like vehicle speed and driver behaviour.

Global Automotive Pedestrian Protection System Market Analysis by Region

Based on geography, Europe occupies a significant automotive pedestrian protection system market share due to consumer preference for highly safe vehicles. The European Commission has released data regarding road fatalities in 2022. Approximately 20,600 individuals lost their lives in traffic accidents during that year, marking a 3% rise compared to 2021.
