Abstract
This paper presents the development of a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) for trams based on state-of-the-art automotive laser scanning technology. Our work investigates TCAS regarding required functionalities and current efforts, and proposes an innovative solution for trams that is based on Ibeo laserscanners and digital maps. The different components of the proposed system are presented together with a description of upcoming field tests to be carried out in several European countries.
