1. A method, performed by a following space management unit of a host vehicle, for managing a following space relating to a time for the host vehicle to reach a preceding vehicle location at which a preceding vehicle, preceding the host vehicle, is currently located, wherein the host vehicle is travelling with a velocity and has a current location on a road, and wherein the host vehicle is travelling in a current lane of the road, the method comprising:
obtaining a set of parameters comprising one or more of:
a difference parameter indicating a difference between the velocity and a speed limit for the host vehicle at the current location; anda road marking parameter indicating whether a road marking on the road indicates that a surrounding vehicle is allowed to enter the current lane (130), wherein the surrounding vehicle is travelling in a lane of the road adjacent to the current lane; and determining the following space based on the set of parameters.
