dc.description.abstract | Automobile safety distance is a critical factor in ensuring road safety and reducing
collision risks. It refers to the minimum distance a vehicle should maintain from the one
ahead, allowing sufficient reaction time to avoid accidents. The safety distance depends on
factors such as vehicle speed, road conditions, weather, and driver reaction time.
Advanced technologies like adaptive cruise control (ACC) and collision avoidance
systems (CAS) use sensors and real-time data to automatically adjust the safety distance,
enhancing driver assistance and safety. Additionally, public awareness and adherence to
traffic rules play a vital role in maintaining appropriate spacing on the road. By integrating
innovative technologies and promoting safe driving habits, the concept of safety distance
significantly contributes to minimizing road fatalities, optimizing traffic flow, and
improving overall transportation safety. This paper explores the impact of maintaining
safety distance and the role of technology in fostering safer road environments. | en_US |
