Collaborative project: Development, testing and evaluation of a positioning system and its software applications for cattle on pastures in lowlands and mountainous regions based on GPS- and GSM-technology - subproject 2
Project
Project code: 28154T2210
Contract period: 15.10.2011
- 14.10.2014
Budget: 97,816 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
The aim of this project is to develop, test and evaluate a new positioning system for the optimization of the management of grazing animals especially under alpine conditions. The positioning system should automatically document the location of animals using GPS and GSM-technology. This will assist the herdsman e.g. when searching for animals, send a warning in case an animal moves outside the restricted pasture area or help with decision making tools related to an optimization of the pasture and grazing management. Furthermore, evaluations about the work time requirements will be carried out in order to reduce times with excessive workloads and working time requirements in general. Keywords: Alpine farming
