Claim 0:
1. A system for determining and utilizing vehicle safety distance and speed information, comprising:
a road condition module configured to receive and formulate detected road friction data from one or more on-board vehicle sensors related to detected road friction in the proximity of a vehicle and predicted road friction data from one or more vision/perception vehicle sensors related to predicted road friction ahead of the vehicle;
a safety distance/speed module configured to determine a safety distance based on a determined function of the detected road friction and the predicted road friction, a safety speed, a warning distance based on a determined function of the predicted road friction, and a warning speed of the vehicle with respect to another vehicle or an object taking into account the detected road friction data and the predicted road friction data; and
a driver alert system configured to present the warning speed to a driver of the vehicle.
