Abstract: A pedestrian contact detection apparatus, for a vehicle, includes a bumper beam, an absorber, an upper rib, a lower rib, a contact detection sensor, and a cover. The upper rib and the lower rib each protrude from a front face of the absorber toward a vehicle front side and each extend discontinuously in a vehicle width direction. The lower rib is disposed on a vehicle lower side of the upper rib. A pressure tube extends in the vehicle width direction and is disposed between the upper rib and the lower rib. The cover covers a front face of the absorber from the vehicle front side, includes a support having insertion holes through which the upper and lower ribs are disposed, and is disposed on the vehicle front side of and adjacent to the bumper beam. The support supports the pressure tube from a vehicle rear side.

Abstract: A collision detection apparatus includes a bumper beam, an absorber, a collision detection sensor, and a bumper cover. The bumper beam extends in a vehicle width direction. The absorber is disposed adjacent to a vehicle front side of the bumper beam. The collision detection sensor includes a pressure tube extending in the vehicle width direction and held by the absorber and is configured to output a signal corresponding to a pressure change in the pressure tube. The bumper cover is disposed on a vehicle front side of the absorber. The bumper cover includes: a low rigidity part disposed at a position lower than the pressure tube; and a high rigidity part having a bending rigidity higher than a bending rigidity of the low rigidity part, disposed at a position above the low rigidity part, and having an upper end at a position higher than the pressure tube.
