Deer Detection System: Solar-Powered Warning System Makes an Impact
With an estimated $1 to $1.5 million in property damage and nearly 10,000 deer/vehicle crashes each year in Minnesota, SRF’s idea for a deer detection system interested MnDOT. Funded through their Innovative Ideas Program, MnDOT sponsored SRF’s development of a solar-powered system that uses warning signs and a flashing light to alert motorists that a deer is near the roadway.
