This may not apply to every system, but some TCAS RAs that recommend a descent are inhibited beleow 1000ft radio altitude and RAs that recommend an increase in rate of descent are inhibited below 1800ft radio.

All RAs are inhibited below 500ft radio and all TA aural alerts below 400ft radio.

This takes out some potential conflict between TCAS and ground proximity warnings
