SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING VEHICLE SAFETY DISTANCE AND SPEED ALERTS UNDER SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS

Vehicle alert and control systems and methods taking into account a detected road friction at a following vehicle and a predicted road friction by the following vehicle. The detected road friction between the following vehicle tires and the road surface may be assessed using a variety of methodologies and is used to compute a critical safety distance between the following vehicle and the preceding vehicle and a critical safety speed of the following vehicle. The predicted road friction ahead of the following vehicle may also be assessed using a variety of methodologies (lidar, camera, and cloud-based examples are provided) and is used to compute a warning safety distance between the following vehicle and the preceding vehicle and a warning safety speed of the following vehicle. These functionalities may be applied to vehicle/stationary object warning and response scenarios as well. 考虑后一车辆处的检测到的道路摩擦和后一车辆预测的预测道路摩擦的车辆警示和控制系统和方法。后一车辆轮胎与路面之间的检测到的道路摩擦可使用各种方法来评估并用于计算后一车辆与前一车辆之间的临界安全距离与后一车辆的临界安全速度。后一车辆前方的预测的道路摩擦也可以使用
