anti-collision device

B11 An airline anti-collision device has been installed in a regular passenger flight for the first time.

The anti-collision device is a form of automatic train protection used on Indian Railways.

The rail system is testing anti-collision devices on trains in the country's remote northeast, Saxena said.

The anti-collision device would inform pilots in which direction to look for a nearby small plane that had no altitude-reporting capability.

Anti-collision devices can make accidents impossible."

Carthoris' flier was also equipped with an anti-collision device, which detected obstacles and automatically steered around them.

Though currently available only in a small subset of the overall IR system, anti-collision devices are to be extended to the entire system.

The application of this anti-collision device has been refined to not only prevent midsection collisions but also to prevent their occurrences in station yards.

Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole has finally done something to promote air safety, tightening the rules on small aircraft and ordering anti-collision devices installed in airliners.

Piedmont Airlines, Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, have already ordered anti-collision devices.

His resulting "Deviation Count theory" confounded the skeptics, and led to his anti-collision device, Raksha Kavach.

The Raksha Kavach anti-collision device is now installed on all routes of India’s Konkan Railway.

In that crash, vital anti-collision devices weren't installed when they should have been, and here too, adequate precautionary measures before the fact might have prevented the crash.

The Federal Aviation Administration has promised that this fall it will propose a rule requiring installation of such anti-collision devices on all jet airliners of significant size.

The anti-collision devices, the Sky Bus and RORO are a few of the innovations from Konkan Railways.

Because collision with other gliders is a risk, the anti-collision device FLARM is becoming increasingly common in Europe and Australia.

There has also been mention of the Konkan Railway Corporation's ACD (Anti-Collision Device) being supplied for equipment on the line.

With advances in computers, it has become possible to develop a system in which the main anti-collision device only has to be carried by one of the planes on a collision course.

The 30-year effort by Government and industry to perfect an anti-collision device for airliners reached an often-postponed milestone today when Piedmont Airlines put a test system into regular operation on scheduled passenger service.

The New York Airspace Working Group, the FAA task force created Aug. 14, also called for rules requiring pilots to turn on anti-collision devices, position or navigation equipment, and landing lights.

In a related development, the prime mover behind a House bill to mandate installation of anti-collision devices on all airliners applauded passage of the bill on Tuesday by a vote of 405 to 4.

These are sent out by transponders that have normally been triggered by radar transmitters at traffic-control centers on the ground and now can also be triggered by transmissions from the new anti-collision devices aboard the larger planes.

Third Prize: Mr.Tom Clark Anti-collision Device for Vehicle Reversing Manoeuvre Supervised by: Dr LS Wang The system uses ultrasonic transducers working at a resonant frequency of 40kHz.

A spokeswoman for the Air Force, Col. Virginia N. Pribyla, said the crew had already spotted the U.P.S. plane and did not think the Presidential aircraft was in danger, although an anti-collision device had sounded an alert.

Anti-Collision Device One program that has been receiving high priority is the completion of flight tests on an electronic anti-collision device that would detect potential collisions and advise the crew of the best evasive maneuver.
