Do TCAS RA's take terrain into account? Yes, the airplane knows how high it is. It will not drive it self into the ground. Knowing how high it is, is only part of what's needed -- does it know where it is, and how high the terrain is nearby? Doesn't need to know where it is. Only how far above the ground it is or will be in a few seconds. The TCAS will only tell you to go either up or down, not right or left.
