well. Accordingly the number of accidents on a forest road with
corresponding equipment is reduced by two thirds and in some
cases far more. "Blue actually acts like a barrier for wild pigs
and other
Landeskompetenzzentrum Forst. "They stop and wait until the
vehicle has passed." This does not work as well with any other
colour. Conventional red for example does not trigger any
reaction at all in the animals – because many species of
mammals other than humans have no receptors for red light.
This is related to the structure of their eyes that are specialised
for seeing at dawn and dusk. The results of the study come as
no surprise
(Brandenburg State Hunting Association). "Our hunters have
been installing blue reflectors on trees along roads at their own
expense for quite some time in order to prevent collisions
between drivers and game," says managing director Georg
Baumann. "This idea helps us more than game fences along
roads that block the movement of animals and are unacceptable
from a wildlife biology perspective." While wildlife crossings
familiar from motorways would be a solution, building such a
crossing every 500 metres in Brandenburg is not feasible.
Functionality
The device automatically emits a light sequence (3x blue against wildlife)
at night and during twilight hours, serving as a natural and permanent
barrier. Blue occurs very rarely in nature (flora and fauna), and indicates
danger for animals. Most nocturnal animals avoid this region. Due to the
additional LED light, the deterrent effect of this device is activated sooner
and more permanently compared to conventional reflectors installed
along roads. It can effectively prevent wildlife damage to vehicles, in
gardens and forests, and to crops. Ideal as a preventive wildlife deterrent.
Conventional reflectors are only effective when struck by car headlights,
which may be too late if wild animals are already at the edge of the road.
Our device serves as a continuous deterrent since it flashes
autonomously.
