System for varsling av dyr

A system for providing notification of the presence of animals (40, 50) that travels within areas where their presence can cause danger, and especially indicating the presence of animals walking on railway tracks (10) or any other busy routes. A number of animals (lead animals) (40) are equipped with an electronic unit (1). containing a GPS receiver and a GSM transceiver. The position is transferred via the GSM network to a control centre (37). The critical part of the communication route is included within security zones defined by virtual border lines (20, 30). The positions of the border lines are also registered in the control centre. The control centre compares positions of animals and border lines registering animals that cross the border lines entering the security zones. This can be notified on a Web page, that can be read on terminals aboard on vehicles/trains (90). Alternatively, the vehicle (90) may be equipped with a corresponding electronic unit transferring its position to the control centre. The control centre may then alert the driver of the vehicle/train if animals are present in the road/railway track.
