    Abstract: A device for triggering at least one external protection function for a motor vehicle for the protection of external road users in particular need of protection, in particular for the protection of pedestrians, includes a control unit for evaluating sensor data from a first sensor system for sensing collision objects and for outputting a first trigger signal for the at least one external protection function, as well as an auxiliary control unit for evaluating sensor data from a second sensor system for sensing collision objects and for directly outputting a second trigger signal for the at least one external protection function if a collision object was detected, the auxiliary control unit being adapted such that the control unit is bypassed when the second trigger signal is output.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a personal protection device for a vehicle. The method includes a step of determining a set of control variants for controlling the personal protection device, from a plurality of possible control variants for controlling the personal protection device, using an inaccurate situational value and at least one inaccuracy value, the inaccurate situational value representing a value ascertained using a sensor of the vehicle, and the inaccuracy value defining an inaccuracy of the inaccurate situational value; and a step of selecting a control variant assigned to the inaccurate situational value, from the plurality of possible control variants, as a control variant selected for controlling the personal protection device, if each control variant of the set of control variants is assigned a safety class, which satisfies a safety criterion necessary for controlling the personal protection device.
