METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRAFFIC-AWARE SPEED GUIDANCE BASED ON V2X COMMUNICATIONS

Method and apparatus for traffic-aware speed guidance to a self-vehicle acting as a following vehicle vs. a followed vehicle. In a traffic environment that includes a followed vehicle and a self-vehicle that acts as a following vehicle, the apparatus is used to analyze values and change patterns of a plurality of speed inputs to obtain analyzed values, wherein a speed input of the followed vehicle is received through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications; to calculate, for each analyzed value, a respective TTC adjustment, to calculate a combined TTC between the self-vehicle and the followed vehicle using the TTC adjustments, and, based on the combined TTC, to calculate a new speed guidance between the self-vehicle and the followed vehicle, thereby improving traffic behavior.
