Advanced warning mechanism to reduce man animal conflict on roads using renewable energy

In India alone, animals crossing major highways cause thousands of accidents every day. As more roads are built through forests and through wildlife corridors, the number of encounters between motorists and wildlife is rising. Animals roam these pathways and frequently even cross the street undetected. Animals crossing the road are frequently not noticed by moving vehicles until it is too late to avoid a collision. By informing the drivers of the vehicles that there are animals on the road from a distance, these accidents can be significantly decreased. The goal was to create a self-contained, renewable energy gadget that can identify animals that are crossing roads and warn drivers of approaching automobiles at a distance using a display or buzzer.
