Collision Avoidance Technology
Collision Avoidance Technology refers to systems designed to prevent accidents by detecting potential collisions and taking action to avoid them. This technology is commonly used in vehicles, aircraft, and maritime vessels, utilizing sensors, cameras, and radar to monitor the environment around them. When a potential collision is detected, the system can alert the operator or automatically apply brakes or change direction.
These systems enhance safety by reducing human error, which is a significant factor in many accidents. Examples of such technology include Automatic Emergency Braking in cars and Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems in aircraft, both aimed at improving overall safety on the roads and in the skies.
