forward collision

Crash into ahead

Forward collision refers to a crash where the front of a vehicle strikes something ahead—another vehicle, a pedestrian, or an obstacle.

The term appears most often in automotive safety technology: forward collision warning, forward collision avoidance.

These systems detect impending impacts and alert drivers or apply automatic braking.
