Japanese trains bark like dogs to chase deer

- Woof woof, the train is coming. If you are waiting for the train in Japan soon, you might suddenly hear dog sounds. Research has shown that barking trains can drive deer on the track and that saves considerably in the number of collisions.

For when it is dark outside, deer often stand on rails. This causes many accidents.

In 2016, in 2016 there were collisions with a deer in Japan. In a test with a 'barking' train, it appeared that the number of collisions had dropped by 45 percent.

The barking can always be heard for twenty seconds. That precedes the sound of a sniffing deer. That will take three seconds.
