Abstract

See full text

A method and a system related to monitoring a safety distance of adjacent vehicles is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method of a first vehicle includes determining that a second vehicle is in motion in front of the first vehicle when the first vehicle is in motion and calculating a distance between the second vehicle and the first vehicle through a range measurement device of the first vehicle when the first vehicle and the second vehicle are in motion. The method also includes generating an alert at an administrative server when the distance between the second vehicle and the first vehicle is less than a safety distance. The method may include applying a value data (e.g. a weight, length, and/or speed of the first vehicle) at the administrative server to determine when the distance between the second vehicle and the first vehicle is less than the safety distance.
