Abstract: We define a method for monitoring and controlling the Safety Distance between motor vehicles. Failure to respect the safety distance between cars on roads and especially on motorways (where speeds are high) is among the leading causes of accidents. This fact generates serious inconveniences, such as roadblocks, resulting in enormous delays for car drivers reaching their destinations, as well as possible deaths and injuries. At the current state of the art, in this regard, steps have only been taken to define auxiliary systems on vehicles that signal when this distance has been reached, advising the driver to reduce speed to restore the minimum safety distance. However, such systems are often viewed negatively by motorists in practice and do not yield positive results. The Method and System defined in this work instead involve the use of a Remote System for controlling the Safety Distance, of the same type as those applied for speed control on roads and motorways. These systems are disliked by car drivers, precisely because of their effectiveness and deterrent effect. In this work, the state of the art regarding Safety Distance control systems, which have been present on cars up to now, is analysed. The different methods of calculating the Safety Distance between vehicles are subsequently described. The method defined in this work is then presented, based on the remote detection of the Safety Distance on roads, especially at high speeds, accompanied by some figures. Here, we highlight the innovation of the system presented in this work, where, for the first time, a System for remotely controlling the Safety Distance is considered.
