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 9):
A Dynamic Vehicle Separation System (DVSS) comprising:\n a first Dynamic Vehicle Separation Controller (DVSC) installed on a first vehicle; and a second Dynamic Vehicle Separation Controller (DVSC) installed on a second vehicle; wherein the second vehicle travels directly behind the first vehicle; wherein the first DVSC transmits a first signal indicating a first separation factor value indicating the distance required for the first vehicle to reach a complete stop from a first real-time speed; wherein the second DVSC calculates a second separation factor value indicating the distance required for the second vehicle to reach a complete stop from a second real-time speed; wherein the second DVSC receives the first signal indicating the first separation factor value and a second signal indicating a real-time distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle; and wherein the second DVSC calculates a separation distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the first separation factor value and the second separation factor value.
