Abstract: Animal-Vehicle Conflict is one of the major issues across the world which affects both human and wild life. A recent research indicates many animals die due to train accidents mostly & road accidents at night time. Despite railway authorities & highway authorities instructing the drivers to reduce the speed in forest areas, there has not been much reduction in wildlife death from vehicles. The surveillance and tracking of wild animals are difficult due to their size. The proposed system automatically detects the wild animals with a small tag implanted on their ears or in their bodies. Each and every wild animal crossing zone has a receiver which can debug the implanted tag and thereby stop the vehicles when the wild animals near a crossing section. The implanted tags areRSSI,Zigbee&GPS which consumed low power will typically consume 50 mA at 3.3 V a 3amps 3.3v lithium ion battery can be used for more than 5 years. The road side unit continuously asks for the presence of wild animals within its range. It is a pronoun fact that Zigbee can transmit its data up to 80km range in open air. Hence whenever a wild animal nears a crossing point the gps value with respect to crossing units will be very less. By knowing these parameters automatically, a siren is given to the road side unit by the embedded device present in it. On successful detection of a siren the driver reduces the speed of the vehicle to a considerable limit such that the Wild animal which carries the tag is not hit by the vehicle. Also, this paper initiates an effort to tag all wild life so that when wild animals like cheetah or leopard enters into a residential area is intimated to the forest rangers by trans receiver units placed at potential places where wild animals can enter the human zone.
