Automobile relative spacing regulation device

摘要

The relative spacing regulation device compares the detected distance of the vehicle from a preceding vehicle with a required spacing dependent on the relative velocity for selective acceleration or braking using a number of alternate braking devices, selected via a relative spacing control. A warning device is activated when the required retardation is above a maximum value, or when the relative spacing is below a given value. Also included are Independent claims for the relative spacing regulation method and a data carrier for a control program for a vehicle relative spacing control
