That would leave vertical and/or time separation which I'm pretty sure any competent operator would have had in place anyway along with RT calls - It will be interesting to see if the crash investigation finds why two serviceable aircraft with pilots familiar with both the area and the operation and operating to the same Ops manual managed to hit each other.
