[0027] In the present invention, a vehicle test device is installed in a road test field, the vehicle's millimeter wave radar and / or camera is turned on, the vehicle drives towards the vehicle test device at different speeds, and performs various types and speed tests such as uniform speed collision, acceleration collision, deceleration collision and deceleration without collision with the vehicle test device. When the vehicle collides with the vehicle test device, the pressure hose signal and the collision acceleration signal can be collected, the upper human body feature pattern layer 22 on the upper human body model 2 and the human leg feature pattern layer 11 on the human leg model will be captured by the camera on the vehicle, and the radar wave reflection layer 21 installed on the upper human body model 2 will be captured by the radar on the vehicle. By measuring parameters such as speed and distance, the vehicle can collect these parameters. These parameters can be used to calibrate the detonation strategy discrimination algorithm for the active hood system based on multi-information fusion. Compared to existing technologies that only use acceleration, or acceleration and pressure signals, to activate and make decisions for the vehicle's active hood system, this vehicle test device can collect information from four major attributes: cameras, radar, acceleration, and pressure hoses.
