  2. Tower crane anti-collision system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Crane_Anti-Collision...

    In the event that a collision becomes imminent, the system can send a command to the crane's control system, ordering it to slow down or stop. [1] An anti-collision system can describe an isolated system installed on an individual tower crane. It can also describe a site wide coordinated system, installed on many tower cranes in close proximity.

  3. Collision avoidance in transportation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_in...

    A simple collision avoidance system. In transportation, collision avoidance is the maintenance of systems and practices designed to prevent vehicles (such as aircraft, motor vehicles, ships, cranes and trains) from colliding with each other. They perceive the environment with sensors and prevent collisions using the data collected from the sensors.

  5. Collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

    A collision avoidance system (CAS), also known as a pre-crash system, forward collision warning system (FCW), or collision mitigation system, is an advanced driver-assistance system designed to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackknifing

    One system with limited success was a device that mechanically limited the angle which a trailer could swing. A much more successful system was to fit the tractor with anti-lock brakes . Fitted originally to airplanes in the 1950s, anti-lock brakes have significantly reduced the number of heavy-vehicle accidents.

  7. Impact attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_attenuator

    An impact attenuator, also known as a crash cushion, crash attenuator, or cowboy cushion, is a device intended to reduce the damage to structures, vehicles, and motorists resulting from a motor vehicle collision. Impact attenuators are designed to absorb the colliding vehicle's kinetic energy.

  8. Traffic collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_collision...

    A traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS), pronounced / ˈ t iː k æ s / TEE-kas), also known as an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS), [1] is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision (MAC) between aircraft.

  9. Anti-collision device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-collision_device

    The application of this anti-collision device has been refined to not only prevent midsection collisions but also to prevent their occurrences in station yards. The newly engineered solution is integrated with the signalling systems, interlocking to react appropriately in case collision-like conditions are perceived at the time of reception and ...
