Vehicle Speed Warning System and Wildlife Detection Systems to Avoid Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions

摘要

One serious problem that all the developing nations are facing today is injuries and death of animals due to road accidents. Report says that, there are around 300,000 collisions per year. However, many of the databases exclude accidents that have vehicle damage less than $1,000 (https://apiar.org.au/wpcontent/uploads/2017/ 07/23_APJCECT_ICT-268-281.Pdf, [1]). Accidents lead to the reduction in wildlife. Eventually, this may lead to reduction and endangered of rare species. A system has to be designed to overcome this problem. In this paper, the problem is addressed by focusing on designing an IoT-based system which will perform two functions one is alerting the driver whenever an animal is nearer to the vehicle and the second one is alerting the driver whenever he exceeds the speed limit, especially in the forest region.
