Abstract
Overtaking is one of the most serious causes of accidents on two-lane two-way
roads. Collisions with oncoming vehicles are account for 42% of the largest group.
Collisions with oncoming vehicles can also be known as head-on collisions where the
front ends of two vehicles hit each other in opposite directions. Safety is the most
important issue while driving. Most traffic accidents occur because of an insufficient
safe distance. In this paper, an overtaking safety system which can dynamically adjust
the safe following distance between vehicles depending on the speed has been
proposed. This system can be used to determine and maintain safe following distances
both in front and rear of a car. The passenger car and the flying overtaking strategy will
be used to simulate the overtaking scenario. With this proposed system, the safe
longitudinal distance between the overtaking and oncoming vehicles can be calculated
to make sure that the overtaking manoeuvre can be performed successfully to avoid
head-on collision.
