Did you know that, according to Culture of Safety in their article “Deer vs. Car Collisions," there are roughly 1.5 billion deer-related car accidents every year? In addition, one billion dollars is spent on those car repairs. These numbers are only concerning deer and do not include many other accidents caused by numerous animals other than deer. The facts previously stated are outrageously high numbers, and this is a problem that needs to be fixed. Therefore, I invented the NO GO DOE, which is unique in the way it functions and has many reasons for why it is needed. The NO GO DOE is something that I have created to prevent the immense amount of car-animal collisions. It appears as just another mile-marker alongside the road. But, in reality, the NO GO DOE is a motion sensor that projects high-pitched sound waves to any animal that is sensed to be near. It is about two feet tall and has a sphere at the top, which has motion sensors that will detect any movement within 15 feet. When motion is detected, the high pitched sound waves are sent out. These sound waves can only be heard by animals and not humans; they are projected up to 20 feet in a 180-degree angle, which excludes the road from the path of the waves. The animals that are within 15 feet of the NO GO DOE will hear the irritating sound waves and try to escape the unpleasant noise, therefore keeping them away from the road. With this tool along highways and roads, animals are less likely to be in the way when a car comes, thus preventing numerous wrecks and deaths of both animals and humans. The NO GO DOE is an invention that is needed on all roads. One million animals are hit by some type of motor vehicle each day, and 400 million each year (Mark Braunstein, Culture Change). Not only is the number of animals killed copious, but humans are also very often killed in these tragic accidents. According to the Insurance Information Institute in their article “Facts+Statistics: Deer-Vehicle Collisions,” in deer-related car accidents alone, the average number of human fatalities is a horrific 150. But, because the NO GO DOE would prevent animals on the road, this number should significantly, if not all, decrease. The number of animal and human deaths caused by wrecks is extortionate. But, the NO GO DOE provides a solution to this problem. With it, animals are much less likely to enter the danger of a road. Not only will this reduce the high number of human deaths caused by animal-related wrecks, but it will also decrease the extensive amount of animals that are killed by being hit by a car. The NO GO DOE is unique in the way it functions and is needed to reduce the outrageous amount of animals and humans killed in car-animal related car accidents.
