Abstract:
The Dynamic Vehicle Separation System (DVSS) according to the present application allows properly equipped vehicles in traffic to maintain safe and optimal separation distances (i.e., following distances), which are automatically and continually calculated based on numerous criteria. Vehicles are equipped with Dynamic Vehicle Separation Controllers (DVSCs) that communicate with each other to maintain proper separation distances among the vehicles.

Claim (Index 45):
The DVSS according to  claim 9 , wherein when the second DVSC receives a valid IR data signal including a separation factor value, the second DVSC controls the second vehicle as a \u201cfollowing\u201d vehicle in a \u201ccontrolled\u201d mode;\n wherein once the second DVSC loses reception of a valid IR data signal including a separation factor value, then the second DVSC controls the second vehicle as a new \u201cleading\u201d vehicle and speeds up to the roadway speed limit; \n wherein when the second DVSC is once again in dose proximity behind another DVSC equipped vehicle and receives a valid IR data signal including a separation factor value, the second DVSC will revert to control the second vehicle as a \u201cfollowing\u201d vehicle and use the separation factor value to set the separation distance between the second vehicle and the new \u201cfollowed\u201d vehicle.
