anti-collision
Stops things colliding
Anti-collision describes systems or features designed to prevent objects from crashing into each other.
The term appears most often in transportation contexts: anti-collision radar on ships, anti-collision lights on aircraft, anti-collision braking in cars.
In computing, anti-collision protocols prevent data packets from interfering with each other on shared networks.
