Up to recently severe pedestrian injury and death cases are seldom decreased because the structure of vehicles are increasingly stiffened to protect the driver and passenger. To overcome this problem, in this study the active hood lift system is developed composed of detecting sensor, algorithm, ECU and the actuator which lifts the hood. The operating time and the function of the discrimination of the pedestrian during impact are checked out after the developed system is integrated into the vehicles. Finally, the distinct decreasing of child headform injury could be identified through the EURO-NCAP headform tests and CAE simulations.
