TL;DR: The paper provides an overview of the development and operational deployment of the Traffic alert Collision Avoidance system (TCAS).
Abstract: The paper provides an overview of the development and operational deployment of the Traffic alert Collision Avoidance system (TCAS). TCAS was one of the first software based "safety of life" systems deployed in aircraft.

TL;DR: An overview of the state of the art in collision avoidance related with transportation systems like the automatic identification system (AIS) for maritime transportation, traffic alert and collision avoidance system/automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (TCAS/ADS-B) for aircraft, and the car-2-car communication system (C2C) for road transportation.
Abstract: The paper presents an overview of the state of the art in collision avoidance related with transportation systems like the automatic identification system (AIS) for maritime transportation, traffic alert and collision avoidance system/automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (TCAS/ADS-B) for aircraft, and the car-2-car communication system (C2C) for road transportation. The examined systems rely on position detection and direct communication among vehicles. Alike a collision avoidance system for railway transportation "RCAS" is introduced. Focussing on the communication aspects, possible applicability of the examined state of the art systems to RCAS is studied. The analysis are performed at different communication system layers, namely application (APP) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and physical layer (PHY), which are the most relevant for a single hop network broadcast system as favorized in RCAS. Since multihop and addressed communication are not foreseen in a first RCAS approach, the network layer is not taken into account.

TL;DR: A collision avoidance system for a vehicle includes an electronic brake system capable of applying wheel brakes to decelerate the vehicle, a steering system that can change a steering angle for the vehicle and a controller.
Abstract: A collision avoidance system for a vehicle includes an electronic brake system capable of applying wheel brakes to decelerate the vehicle, a steering system capable of changing a steering angle for the vehicle, and a controller. The controller instructions for performing a pedestrian avoidance maneuver including at least one of steering the vehicle to the maximum available separation distance and braking the vehicle to the maximum safe speed while the vehicle is passing the pedestrian.

TL;DR: Instead of using wireless access in vehicular environments/dedicated short-range communications to protect pedestrians, WiSafe provides a simple, effective, and low-cost solution.
Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel Wi-Fi-based pedestrian collision avoidance (PCA) system: WiSafe. Compared to vision-based and radar-based PCA systems, WiSafe has a key advantage of Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS). WiSafe can assist drivers in discovering pedestrians in NLOS and blind spots, where the views of drivers are blocked by buildings, vehicles, or other obstacles. In particular, it is very useful when driving in poor visibility conditions such as at night, in heavy rain, or thick fog. WiSafe can save split seconds, which can potentially save lives. Instead of using wireless access in vehicular environments/dedicated short-range communications to protect pedestrians, WiSafe provides a simple, effective, and low-cost solution. Without changing Wi-Fi standards, WiSafe is compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n and can be implemented by apps on smartphones or wearable devices. The complete analysis, implementation, and experiments are presented in this paper. The results show that WiSafe can achieve and even exceed the PCA requirements.

TL;DR: A reactive collision avoidance system based on artificial potential fields, that takes the special dynamics of UAVs into account by predicting the influence of obstacles on the estimated trajectory in the near future using a learned motion model is proposed.
Abstract: Reliable obstacle avoidance is a key to navigating with UAVs in the close vicinity of static and dynamic obstacles. Wheel-based mobile robots are often equipped with 2D or 3D laser range finders that cover the 2D workspace sufficiently accurate and at a high rate. Micro UAV platforms operate in a 3D environment, but the restricted payload prohibits the use of fast state-of-the-art 3D sensors. Thus, perception of small obstacles is often only possible in the vicinity of the UAV and a fast collision avoidance system is necessary. We propose a reactive collision avoidance system based on artificial potential fields, that takes the special dynamics of UAVs into account by predicting the influence of obstacles on the estimated trajectory in the near future using a learned motion model. Experimental evaluation shows that the prediction leads to smoother trajectories and allows to navigate collision-free through passageways.
