Japanese trains have started using recordings of dog barks to deter deer from approaching and getting hit on the tracks. This method has proven to be successful in reducing the number of deer-train collisions. The experiment was conducted by the Railway Technical Research Institute in Tokyo. The team aims to automate the system to work in spaces where deer are commonly found. While this method has shown positive results, it cannot be used in urban areas. Japan has been dealing with the issue of animal-train collisions for a long time, with hundreds of deer getting hit by trains every year. The country has also tried using ultrasonic devices to deter animals from crossing the tracks. In general, infrastructure and wildlife management is a complex issue that requires various engineering solutions.
