Road-Kill Avoidance System Deployed in Colorado
No one wants to run over Bambi. It results in expensive damage to your car, and crying children when you have to drag the bloody corpse out of the roadway. Colorado, a state where 70-percent of the highway collisions are the result of animals in the roadway, is testing out a new system to help drivers avoid running over larger creatures, which could also pose a danger to drivers.
The system uses an underground cable that detects when larger animals (like deer or bear) wander onto the road and activates signs to warn drivers of the obstacles awaiting them. A test is underway on US-160, where radar will be used to see if drivers slow down when warned of oncoming animals. If successful, expect to see this system deployed wherever sizable roadkill proliferates. [From: Autoblog]
