Abstract (en)

The invention relates to the prevention of oncoming traffic congestion. In particular, the invention relates to an oncoming-traffic-congestion-prevention-device (101) for a first vehicle (100) driving on a first lane. The oncoming-traffic-congestion-prevention-device is configured for receiving first data about a traffic obstruction from a second, oncoming vehicle and for generating second data on the basis of the first data. This second data is then transmitted to a third vehicle that is travelling behind the second vehicle, in the same direction as the second vehicle. The invention also relates to a method for preventing a traffic congestion on an oncoming lane and to a program element.
