2. Traffic collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

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

   A traffic alert and collision avoidance system ( TCAS, pronounced / tiːkæs /; TEE-kas ), is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision (MAC) between aircraft. It monitors the airspace around an aircraft for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder, independent of air ...

3. Defensive driving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_driving

   A driver safety program called the Driver Example Program was developed in 1964 by Chris Imhoff of the (US) National Safety Council. The program instituted a Defensive Driving Course (DDC). Defensive Driving Courses, along with Instructor Development Courses were offered beginning 1964 and 1965, typically through corporate sponsorships.

4. Traffic collision reconstruction - Wikipedia

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

   Traffic collision reconstruction is the process of investigating, analyzing, and drawing conclusions about the causes and events during a vehicle collision. Reconstructionists conduct collision analysis and reconstruction to identify the cause of a collision and contributing factors including the role of the driver (s), vehicle (s), roadway and ...

5. Lane departure warning system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_departure_warning_system

   Roadway with lane markings. In road-transport terminology, a lane departure warning system ( LDWS) is a mechanism designed to warn the driver when the vehicle begins to move out of its lane (unless a turn signal is on in that direction) on freeways and arterial roads. These systems are designed to minimize accidents by addressing the main ...

6. 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] In its basic form, a forward collision warning system monitors a vehicle's speed, the speed of ...

7. Automated emergency braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency...

   Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation. Braking: the system tries to avoid the accident by applying the brakes. Time-to-collision could be a way to choose which avoidance method (braking or steering) is most appropriate.
