The aim of the project is to develop a wolf attack detection system for grazing animals to enable quick reactions and thereby reduce wolf predation numbers. The detection takes place via intelligent sensor collars on a few grazing animals, which trigger a suspicion of an attack in the case of characteristic parameter constellations and trigger an alarm on the smartphones of a user group and a subsequent immediate control drive. The monitored parameters are primarily the movements and noises of the grazing animals. The parameters are evaluated using artificial intelligence.
