Rimcas is Indra product name - but other manufacturers have an equivalent safetynet. Varying degrees of "performance"

In general though all old school and not that great - future is safety nets that are intention based.

Take the example of a departure against a vehicle or aircraft that on the runway ahead of it, missed by the ATCO, an alert would only be generated once the aircraft reaches a specific speed(so less or no time to react) the newer safety nets would activate from the controllers input of a take off clearance, which would generate the alert at that point even before the aircraft moved.

See systems like ATRiCs which equally demonstrate the follow the greens concept - and just one of many additional safety nets including stop bar control - and a system designed for ATCOs not engineers.
