The project presents a road post that has a function of warning drivers (or other road users) about forest animals, which may be near the road, and which may unexpectedly run on it, and are a huge threat. We have built a motion detector into the post, which detects the presence of animals. It generates a signal which is converted into electrical pulses which actuate an externally located warning lamp. The detector used: PIR (with a range of 50m and an observation angle of 180 degrees, which ensures ‘observation’ of the entire area from the road towards the shoulder. The system is powered by a 12V battery charged by a solar panel (it allows continuous operation without additional external power supply). The system affects road traffic safety (protects against fatal collisions with large animals).
