Still Waters Posted January 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Researchers in Japan have fitted a train with a speaker that barks like a dog and snorts like a deer in order to prevent collisions on the railway. Tokyo's Asahi Shimbun newspaper reports that the combination of sounds is designed to scare deer away from the tracks in a bid to reduce the number of animal deaths on the railway. Officials from the Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) say that a three-second blast of the sound of a deer snorting attracts the animals' attention, and 20 seconds of dog barking is enough to make them take flight. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-42714353 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
