  • Method and system for providing a collision alert
    Patent number: 9694747
    Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a collision alert based on the stopping distance associated with a vehicle based on an identifying characteristic. The approach includes detecting an identifying characteristic of a first vehicle traveling in front of a second vehicle. The approach also includes querying for a stopping distance associated with the first vehicle based on the identifying characteristic. The approach further includes determining an approach speed at which the second vehicle is approaching the first vehicle; and generating a collision alert based on the stopping distance and the approach speed.
