Abstract
A vehicle, a method and a vehicle observability enhancing system are provided. The system is configured to determine if a host vehicle is positioned within selectively one of an observable zone (A) of at least one detected vehicle, or an unsafe unobservable zone (B) of the at least one detected vehicle. If the host vehicle is positioned within the observable zone (A), the system is arranged to generate a control signal indicative of maintaining the host vehicle in the observable zone (A) of the at least one detected vehicle for at least a predefined time duration before the host vehicle is allowed to enter an unsafe unobservable zone (B) of the at least one detected vehicle.
