FIELD: signaling.
SUBSTANCE: method for regulating the distance of a vehicle to a vehicle in front comprises the following steps: a) determination of a fuel-saving situation for a momentum use phase; b) pre-calculation of an optimal consumption speed characteristic for an undisturbed ride; c) pre-calculation of an additional distance need to the vehicle in front, which is required in order to fully implement the momentum use phase; d) building of the required additional distance in front of the fuel-saving situation; e) carrying out the momentum use phase on reaching the fuel-saving situation. Invention discloses the vehicle.
EFFECT: object of the invention is to provide a method for quantitative determination of a separation build-up for a momentum utilization phase and to ensure an acceptable, traffic calming and hence convoy traffic-stabilizing method for the following traffic.
