THE PROBLEM
Animals are likely to enter vehicle components to escape from tough weather conditions and rest in a warm place. The main reason behind this behavior is benefiting from the heat of the vehicle engines. The heat of the engines may attract animals when the engine is at rest but, when the vehicle is turned on, the heat will increase so much that it will kill animals. So, if animals cannot leave the vehicle, especially when they get stuck or sleep in vehicles, they can get hurt or even die. This life-threatening problem brings subproblems. One of those is the deformity of vehicles. Even if animals leave the vehicles, they can cause permanent damage to vehicle components. Especially, martens chew the cables of the circuits of vehicles which causes deformities in vehicles. This makes drivers spend unnecessary money on their vehicles.
WHY OUR PROBLEM IS IMPORTANT?
A Worldwide Problem
Animal deaths in vehicle components are a global problem because the species of animals can vary from country to country. The research demonstrated that different kinds of animals, from snakes to kittens, can be found inside vehicle components, and it can be seen in the news all over the world.
Huge Amount of Vehicles
In today‘s world traveling without a vehicle is like running without shoes. This role of vehicles in transportation causes an increase in the number of vehicles. Given this increase, this problem stands as a longtime life-threatening problem for animals
