Preceding traffic alert system and method

A method of providing alerts of preceding traffic, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a computerized traffic monitoring system operated by a user on a trailing vehicle, a preceding vehicle in front of the trailing vehicle;
• detecting a change in relative velocity between the preceding vehicle and the trailing vehicle that exceeds a threshold;
• and
• causing an augmented reality content to be displayed in a head-mounted display worn by the user, to alert the user of the change in relative velocity,
• wherein the change in relative velocity between the preceding vehicle and the trailing vehicle indicates that the preceding vehicle is accelerating with respect to the trailing vehicle, and wherein the augmented reality content comprises a green overlay on at least a portion of the preceding vehicle.

At east one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for providing alerts of preceding traffic, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• identify, by a computerized traffic monitoring system operated by a user on a trailing vehicle, a preceding vehicle in front of the trailing vehicle;
• detect a change in relative velocity between the preceding vehicle and the trailing that exceeds a threshold;
• and
• cause an augmented reality content to be displayed in a head-mounted display worn by the user, to alert the user of the change in relative velocity,
• wherein the change in relative velocity between the preceding vehicle and the trailing vehicle indicates that the preceding vehicle is accelerating with respect to the trailing vehicle, and wherein the augmented reality content comprises a green overlay on at least a portion of the preceding vehicle.
