Collision Avoidance: ADS-B or TCAS INTRODUCTION Background Collision avoidance is something that has been a problem in aviation for a long time. Most of the flights conducted today rely on the see and avoid concept and ground radar. Both of which have their flaws. The FAA predicts that mid-air collisions will increase by 300% over the next 20 years due to the increase in flights being flown by all areas of the aviation community (Kraus xiv). Civil aircraft have had onboard protection from
of more as driver convenience such as the parking assistance system. While other features such as the collision avoidance system, adaptive cruise control system, lane-keeping assist system, and the lane departure warning system can have a major impact in reducing the number of traffic accidents and possibly lowering traffic fatalities. The use of sensor technology is an important part of these systems. The parking assistance system is one of the features offered in many of today’s cars. Whether
potential collision, thus leading to fatal harm to lots of people. In nature, this action lead to potential fatal harm. 2. Should a traffic controller have been on break on a night shift and left his or her colleague "in charge of two navigation stations" (2)? It is morally wrong. The reason is that the preoccupation of his or her colleague could make the controller unaware of the catastrophic collision and cause many people their lives. In nature, this action lead to potential
technologically advanced in the past few years. Cars have so many automatic systems that come standard now. Such as park assist, multiple airbags, or automatic braking. Unfortunately, with our handheld technological devices we have become more focused about those than we are about the road. Which is why many car manufactures have introduced something called automatic braking. This is made

Shipping companies are strict with hiring skilled and knowledgeable crews 2. Weaknesses a. The ships lack proper and functioning navigational equipment b. Ship owners and crews are ignorant of the rules of the COLREGs c. Shipping companies does not have or does not follow the standards set in the Safety Management System and MRM d. Shipping companies are not willing
Also with the algorithm, the car itself can figure out the best route to get from one location to another. Doing so will create an efficient system of transportation consequently also keeping emission low if the car were electric therefore killing two birds with one stone. According to Business Insider, they provide an excellent point on the effect of self-driving car they said, "Autonomous cars
sets a level of precedents for future laws. After this law was passed, the amount of fatalities from traffic incident relating to seat belts usage had dropped. The Supreme Court did not stop there, they continued to add more laws. “...new motor vehicles produced after September 1982 will be equipped with passive restraints to protect the safety of the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a collision” (Supreme Court). Now all new motor vehicles must have a form of passive restraint added to their
automatic modes for driving, such as automatic parking, automatic driving without the operator of the car, Google, or the system of camera - intelligent car lights detect traffic signs and pedestrians. In general,

Intelligent Transportation systems include Information Technology and all types of communication in vehicles, between vehicles, between vehicles and fixed location, ITS is not for Road transport only it also include rail, water and air transport. About ITS ITS is from Intelligent Transportation Systems. This name hides a Group of Different technologies and management techniques which are used in public transport
The seat belt or safety belt is a safety harness designed to secure the occupant of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result from a collision or a sudden stop. As part of an overall automobile passive safety system, seat belts are intended to reduce injuries by stopping the wearer from hitting the hard interior of the vehicle, or other passengers, when in the correct position for the airbag to deploy it prevents the driver
irresponsible for his/her driving behaviour. Due to this irresponsibility of driver, accident ratio increases in competitive country. An estimated 1.5 lakhs people lose their lives in road traffic crashes every year, and another 2 to 5 lakhs are injured. Indian government declared that India has indefinite death during road traffic accident every year. According to the latest report on country's road accidents and deaths, over 52,000 people died in crashes caused due to overtaking and 'diverging' during 2015

way at locations that we consider the dual purpose of traffic signals efficiency and safety, which in some cases seem to be conflicting. Safety may be seen as an element needed to be sacrificed in order to achieve improvements in efficiency and meet ever-increasing demands. The reality is that traffic signals can, and in fact must, serve both operational efficiency and safety based on the conditions. The MUTCD goes on to describe that traffic control signals can be ill-designed, ineffectively placed
of building a computer system that realistically models human thinking. The ethics of realizing such a dream are widely debated. Many believe it would be an extremely dangerous thing to accomplish, but that hasn’t stopped many from trying. The two main systems that have been developed so far that come closest to accomplishing this goal are neural networks and fuzzy logic control systems. This paper will only concern itself with the latter. Fuzzy logic control systems are designed to mimic
society that constantly looks for the “next best thing,” companies in all industries push to update their products. Telephones have evolved into smartphones. Computers that could take up an entire desk have evolved into slim laptops. Traditional gaming systems have evolved into virtual reality. This evolution of products is positive for the economy and consumers, but when does the evolution of products become negative? For decades, the idea of the flying car or self-driving car has captivated drivers. At
Introduction Body area networks (BAN) are a form of wireless personal area network (WPAN) and it has recently been accepted as 4th generation mobile communications systems taking the form of human to human networking incorporating wearable sensors and communication. BAN is normally thought of as wireless sensor networks (WSN) however in this paper we try to elaborate on how BAN works. BAN can take various forms, it incorporates the use of sensors which can be found in, on or around the body and it
topology are connected to a single cable called the bus, backbone, or ether. The transmission medium has a physical beginning and an end. All connections must be terminated with a resistor to keep data transmissions from being mistaken as network traffic. The terminating resistor must match the impedance of the cable. One advantage of bus topology is that small networks are fairly easy to set up and does not require specialized networking equipment. It is also fairly inexpensive to set up, since
Instead, they will offer cars with perhaps self-parking features or a lane departure assist. The self-parking assist allows the driver to park their car without having to touch the pedals or the steering wheel, the car does it itself. The lane departure system allows the driver to stay in their lane without drifting outside or close to the edge of the lane. However, these are only steps closer to actual self-driving cars. Tesla provides a completely self-driving car that does not need the driver to touch

Mesh, Bus, Ring and Star topologies The term Topology refers to the physical or logical shape or layout of a network. Communication between different nodes within a network is determined by its topology. Mesh, Bus, Ring and Star are four of the most common network topologies, each with advantages and disadvantages in relation to each other. Mesh Topology The Mesh topology is true to its name in that there are multiple redundant interconnections between network nodes. A mesh network can employ
