<p>The invention relates to a system for assisting a vehicle behind when overtaking a vehicle train, which vehicle behind and at least a leader vehicle in the train are adapted to communicating via wireless communication. The system comprises a processor unit adapted to receiving from said vehicle behind an overtake signal which indicates that the vehicle behind wishes to overtake the vehicle train, to receiving from a monitoring system on board the leader vehicle a monitoring signal which indicates the presence of objects around the leader vehicle which relate to the traffic situation, to analysing said presence of objects with respect to predetermined criteria related to the possibility of the vehicle behind overtaking safely, to generating an assistance signal which indicates the result of the analysis, to sending the assistance signal to said vehicle behind and thereby conveying to its driver the result of the analysis, to generating on the basis of said analysis one or more control signals which indicate how one or more of the train's vehicles need to be regulated to make it possible for said vehicle behind to overtake the vehicle train, and to sending said one or more control signals to one or more control systems of said vehicles in the train, which vehicle or vehicles are then regulated accordingly.
