Method, host vehicle and following space management unit for managing following space
First Claim
1. A method, performed by a following space management unit of a host vehicle, for managing a following space relating to a time for the host vehicle to reach a preceding vehicle location at which a preceding vehicle, preceding the host vehicle, is currently located, wherein the host vehicle is travelling with a velocity and has a current location on a road, and wherein the host vehicle is travelling in a current lane of the road, the method comprising:
- obtaining a set of parameters comprisinga difference parameter indicating a difference between the velocity of and a road speed limit for the host vehicle at the current location; and
determining the following space based on the set of parameters, thereby controlling the following space.

Abstract
A method and a following space management unit of a host vehicle for managing a following space are disclosed. The following space management unit obtains a set of parameters including one or more of a difference parameter, indicating a difference between a velocity of the host vehicle and a speed limit for the host vehicle at a current location, and a road marking parameter, indicating whether a surrounding vehicle is allowed to enter the current lane. The following space management unit determines the following space based on the set of parameters.
