DeerDeter Wildlife Crossing Guard is a roadside device that is activated by approaching headlights to emit sound and light as stimuli to stop animals from approaching. The shrill alarm and a blue-white, strobe-type light is an active method to deter deer from crossing a road when a vehicle is present at night. Many previous efforts to keep deer and other wildlife from road crossings have often proven to be less than optimal because deer and other animals become accustomed to specific stimuli and ignore or avoid the deterrent by detouring around it to get to feeding areas. The devices are activated only by a vehicle's headlights and not each time an animal approaches; thus, avoiding continuous exposure to the stimuli causing desensitization or “habitualization.” However, the electronic stimuli can be reprogrammed. This solution allows animals to cross toadways at times when they do not present a danger, thereby permitting access to preferred feeding and bedding areas along traditional migration routes. A series of alternating sides of the road units are positioned within the field of approaching headlights, directed such that the sound and strobe emitter face the direction from which the animal will approach. The solar powered low consumption power management system helps ensure maximum availability even in low sunlight conditions. The “brains” of the unit is a circuit board offering years of sustained performance at low cost in terms of both initial installation and follow-on We al i w “Institute for Product and Technology Development Peso A Schalk & Schalk OFG
