Russia has created a smart alarm system that will reduce the risk of accidents caused by animals.
The device will warn the drivers of movements on the road and turn on the red light with a loud sound. This will help reduce the number of accidents caused by animals, scientists from LETI University said in an interview with Gazeta. Ru».
Experts began the development after a marked increase in accidents caused by wild animals. The main danger is the unexpected appearance of animals, because of which the driver simply does not have time to react. According to scientists, road signs do not help.
At the same time, they plan to install the system only in the most dangerous sections of the road, so as not to install fences and maintain the normal routes for animals.
"If an animal approaches the road, then a red light on the module lights up to warn the driver; if a car is nearby, then a sound is activated, which aims to reduce the likelihood that the animal will enter the road," said project manager Kirill Korpov.
