Can the Pedestrian Protection Device Trigger an Insurance Claim?

[McMarcus]

Yes, it can be claimed through insurance. Relevant information about the pedestrian protection system is as follows: 1. Collision Buffer Protection System: The Accord is equipped with an active hinge at the end of the engine hood. When a collision with a pedestrian occurs, the hinge causes the engine hood to sink, thereby achieving a buffering effect to reduce injury. Additionally, the front fenders and bumper are designed with extra space for collision impact, also serving as a buffer. It can be said that among all vehicle types, mid-size cars are relatively easier to implement pedestrian protection because their body dimensions (including the front-end size) can basically ensure that the head contact position during a pedestrian collision is near the center of the windshield. This allows for reducing the head injury index by modifying the energy-absorbing design in this area. Therefore, many mid-size cars fully utilize this feature in their safety designs. 2. Active Hood System: Utilizing hood pop-up technology, the engine hood bulges instantly during a collision, ensuring that the human body does not hit the hard car shell but instead contacts a soft and smooth surface. Upon detecting a pedestrian collision, the vehicle automatically activates the hood pop-up control module, and the equipped ejection device instantly raises the engine hood, effectively placing an air cushion beneath the person as they fall.
