Vehicle i.e. car, rear collision detecting method, involves detecting distance and relative speed between vehicles, and triggering measures reducing accident severity and preventing accident depending on detected measurement value

摘要

The method involves detecting a distance and a relative speed between vehicles (1, 2) using a radar sensor (4), where one of the vehicles is considered as a potential collision object. A measurement value indicating a potential rear-end collision risk is detected. Measures reducing the accident severity and preventing the accident are triggered depending on the detected measurement value. A signal light (7) is illuminated for displaying the measures reducing the accident severity and preventing the accident.
