Abstract :
A novel algorithm for vehicle safety distance between driving cars for vehicle safety warning system is presented in this paper. The presented system concept includes a distance obstacle detection and safety distance calculation. The system detects the distance between the car and the in front of vehicles (obstacles) and uses the vehicle speed and other parameters to calculate the braking safety distance of the moving car. The system compares the obstacle distance and braking safety distance which are used to determine the moving vehicle´s safety distance is enough or not. This paper focuses on the solution algorithm presentation.
