“Warning systems for reindeer delayed”
“In a couple of years, a new electronic system to warn of reindeer in traffic tested, and the hope has been that the system would soon be put into use. But despite multiple tests, it is now clear that it will take another couple of years before the system can start to be used, say P4 Norrbotten.”
“– so long as the technology is not mature enough to be used in real-life situation, ” says Johannes Karlsson, project manager at Umeå university, to the radio.”
“The last two years tests have been carried out in both Sweden and Norway, and now it is time for a final run in the Norwegian Saltfjellet.”
“– the Results have been good and there is a great interest for the technology, so I hope it will be a continuation, ” says Johannes Karlsson.”
“the System is based on reindeer are equipped with a transmitter connected to the poles with the flashing lights. When the reindeer approach the road activated the pillars. Each year killed more than 2 000 reindeer in traffic.”
