Bidireksjonal

Bidireksjonal is a term denoting the capacity for movement, transfer, or interaction in two opposite directions. It is equivalent to the English word "bidirectional" and is used across technical, scientific, and everyday contexts to describe systems that allow flow both ways between two endpoints.

In communications and networking, bidireksjonal systems support data transmission in both directions. This can occur in half-duplex mode, where a channel alternately carries signals one way at a time, or full-duplex mode, where simultaneous two-way transfer is possible. Electronic components such as bidirectional transceivers and buses enable inputs and outputs to share physical lines. In computing, bidirectional data flows appear in I/O interfaces and bidirectional algorithms like bidirectional search or bidirectional recurrent neural networks (e.g., bidirectional LSTM).

In text processing, bidireksjonal handling addresses mixed-direction scripts (for example, left-to-right Latin with right-to-left Arabic or Hebrew) using specialized algorithms to render characters correctly. In transportation, it describes two-way streets or tracks that accommodate traffic in both directions.

Advantages of bidireksjonal designs include greater flexibility and efficient use of resources, while challenges can include increased complexity, risk of collisions or interference, and the need for coordination or arbitration mechanisms. Related terms include unidirectional (one-way) and duplex (describing degree of two-way capability).
