Antikollisjon

Antikollisjon is a Norwegian term that translates to "anti-collision" in English. It refers to systems, technologies, or measures designed to prevent or minimize the likelihood of collisions. The concept is broadly applicable across various domains, including transportation, industrial safety, and even software development.

In aviation, anti-collision systems are crucial for maintaining safe separation between aircraft. These systems, such as the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), detect other aircraft in the vicinity and provide pilots with instructions to avoid a potential conflict. Similarly, in maritime navigation, anti-collision measures include radar, AIS (Automatic Identification System), and established rules of the road to prevent ship collisions.

On land, anti-collision technology is increasingly integrated into vehicles. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) often include features like forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, which use sensors and cameras to detect potential impacts and intervene if necessary. Industrial settings also employ anti-collision measures, such as proximity sensors and safety interlocks, to prevent accidents between machinery, vehicles, or workers in hazardous environments. The core principle of antikollisjon is to proactively identify and mitigate risks that could lead to an unwanted impact.
