A method of signaling an operator of a motor vehicle to optimize stopping distance including determining a vehicle speed, and determining a preferred time to stop based, at least in part, on the vehicle speed. A maximum acceptable time to stop is determined based, at least in part, on the vehicle speed. A coast rate for the vehicle is determined, and an optimal distance to begin coasting is also determined. The method further includes providing a signal to an operator of the vehicle to begin coasting when the vehicle is at the optimal distance.
