CHALLENGES
Roadkill presents a significant safety concern, not only for the animals but also for drivers. In certain areas, such as tunnels and fenced regions, small animals frequently venture onto the road, leading to collisions that can cause severe vehicle damage and endanger human lives. Moreover, these areas are often characterized by limited visibility, making it challenging for drivers to react in time. Therefore, a solution that can proactively detect and deter animals from entering the roadway and also alerting drivers to potential hazards was crucial. The D131 carrier board is able to process real-time video and integrate seamlessly with AI detection algorithms allows for early detection of animals and other hazards, ensuring timely alerts and reducing the risk of accidents.
