Electro-mat

An electro-mat, sometimes referred to as an anti-moose mat, is an electrical mat used to keep large wildlife such as moose or bears away from certain areas where their presence could cause issues. The mats give off a mild shock at a low electric current when stepped on, deterring animals from crossing over them.
In October 2005, the municipal airport in Wasilla, Alaska, a town about 40 miles north of Anchorage, installed mats around the airfield to prevent moose from walking onto the runway and colliding with aircraft. The government of Arizona installed electro-mats in combination with electric fences and ramps in Tijeras Canyon in 2007 in an effort to deter wildlife from crossing at unsafe locations along Interstate 40 and New [Mexico State Road 333].
In 2011, Parks Canada began a 5-year study to determine the feasibility of deploying electro-mats along the CP Rail lines inside Banff National Park. A large number of animals, including 12 grizzly bears, 30 American [black bear|black bears], 8 wolves, and over 300 ungulates were known to have died on the tracks between 2004-2013, and it was hoped that the use of the mats would be able to sufficiently deter wildlife and reduce those numbers.
