Abstract
The paper is proposing a specific indicator, the inverse time to collision TTC-1, useful when analyzing the highway traffic. The advantage of TTC-1 vs. TTC is a direct and continuous dependence with the collision risk. TTC-1 could be used as an input in car following algorithms. Because the automate driving is yet in a research stage, a feasible application for TTC-1 would be rather assisting the driver of the following car at the choice of the distance gap towards the first car.
