Abstract

Collision Avoidance Systems are instruments that are have been developed to enhance air traffic safety . The systems have been developed to prevent mid-air collisions by detecting threat aircrafts in air traffic and developing means of maneuvering to avoid collisions . To ensure effective application of collision avoidance systems , human factors have been greatly impacted by the technology . Introduction of the systems have called for further training of aviation workers

to be able to utilize the system effectively and also to fit into the demands of the system . This discusses Collision Avoidance Systems and their applications . In addition , the discusses the human factors implications of introducing collision avoidance systems in the aviation industry . Introduction

Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS ) is a set of hardware and software that are used together with other systems in the aircraft to enhance safety by providing the pilot with better means of visualizing the air traffic and avoiding collision . The systems are used for avoiding unintended collisions with other aircrafts or even collisions with obstacles in the air or the ground . The introduction of collision avoidance systems in aviation is an effort to increase air safety Mid-air collision is avoided by the systems providing surveillance measures on any aircraft that may collide with the subject aircraft From this information , the aircraft crew is able to take appropriate collision avoidance measures usually involving vertical separation . By introducing the CAS...
