1. A vehicle pre-collision countermeasure system comprising:

  • a communication component configured to conduct a direct communications with other vehicles, including broadcasting vehicle parameter identifiers of a host vehicle equipped with the communication component and receiving vehicle parameter identifiers of a following vehicle;

    a rear collision predicting component configured to predict a likelihood of a potential rear collision event occurring in the host vehicle based on the vehicle parameter identifiers of the following vehicle; and

    an acceleration countermeasure component configured to accelerate the host vehicle in response to the rear collision predicting component predicting that the potential rear collision event is likely to occur with the following vehicle,the communication component including a regular broadcast channel and a high priority channel with the communication component configured to use the regular broadcast channel prior to initially predicting that the potential rear collision event is likely to occur and to use the high priority channel after initially predicting that the potential rear collision event is likely to occur.
