N2 - Conventional pedestrian protection systems utilizing contact- or non-cooperative perception sensors are limited by uncertainties in target classification. Moreover, these systems offer no benefit in case of fully or partially hidden pedestrians like e.g. children hidden by cars. In this paper, we present a novel approach using cooperative sensor technology to overcome these drawbacks. Within the research project AMULETT, we are developing a cooperative sensor system to clearly classify and locate vulnerable road users. The system warns the driver in the early phase of a possible collision or is triggering collision mitigation strategies in case of unavoidable contact.
