  • Thread-topic: Safe distance for a trucker (headway)

Hello,


It seems the rule for truckers is to keep a safe distance of one truck length per 10 km/h. So, if a truck driver is traveling at 100 km/h and his truck is 20 m long, he should keep a distance of 200 m from the vehicle in front of him.


I thought to use the "tau" parameter, but it is related to reaction time as I understand and it does not seem to take into account the length of the truck.



Thank you,
