Traffic collision avoidance systems

Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) are advanced safety tools in vehicles that monitor surroundings for potential collisions. Using sensors like radar or cameras, they detect other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles nearby. When a risk is identified, TCAS provides alerts or warnings to the driver, helping them take timely actions to avoid accidents. Some systems also communicate with other vehicles to coordinate movements and prevent multi-vehicle collisions. Overall, TCAS enhances driving safety by providing real-time hazard detection and proactive alerts, supporting drivers in making informed decisions and reducing the likelihood of crashes.
