Vehicle warning system and method based on speed differential

Abstract

The present invention provides a method, apparatus and article of manufacture for detecting the presence of one or more target vehicles and determining a distance and speed of the targeted vehicles relative to a targeting vehicle. When predetermined threshold conditions are satisfied, warning signals are output from a computer system to alert a driver of the one or more targeted vehicles. In addition, steps may be taken to determine whether the targeting vehicle and the one or more targeted vehicles will converge to create a congested condition. If so, the speed of the targeting vehicle maybe adjusted.
