As the highway transportation network expands and modern technologies in the automobile industry develops, automobiles contribute a lot to human life, which have also led to many problems such as traffic accidents, traffic jams, environmental pollution, and energy waste. Take traffic accidents as an example. According to the China’s website of the State Administration of Work Safety, in 2011, about 211,000 people died or injured in traffic accidents, with the death toll hitting 62,000. Among all those accidents, rear-end collisions account for a large proportion, as the freeway rear-end accidents was about 33.4% of the total accidents in China and 24% in America. These traffic accidents have not only resulted in huge economic losses, but have also made highways more congested and occupied medical resources.
