Horsery® - Digital Hi-Viz

Horsery® is a road safety platform to make riders safer on public roads. Using this platform enables sat-nav systems to warn drivers that they are approaching a horse on their route ahead. In a world of connected vehicles, lets use our smartphones to keep us safe.

How to use Horsery®...

Just before you go out onto the road, drop a 'Horses' road sign onto the map at your current location by using the 'DROP SIGN' button to the left of the intials box. It lasts an hour. You can also drop further signs along your route.
Modern connected vehicle nav systems can see this GPS marker and pre-warn approaching drivers.
...Its like placing a traditional road sign into the digital world:



Just for fun, we've also added a pin drop function to help our users to find each other when out and about:
The circular 'PIN DROP' button drops a static pin on the map that lasts 5 minutes, and users can then click on the same button a second time to send it to their friends, who can then click on the link to start their nav. As well as being a handy way to meet up with friends at events, the 'Drop Pin' button also provides a way mark hazards whilst out and about.

Creating the horse road sign GPS data enables communication with modern 'connected vehicle systems'. Google-Nav, Waze, Apple and OEM Nav systems are able to use it to warn drivers that "Horses are reported in the area".

Using smartphones on the Horsery® Platform is such an easy and effective way to improve road safety in this day and age; In the connected vehicle world, horses are classed as 'VRUs' (Vulnerable Road Users), and they are an 'edge case' because they're irregular with no digital signature. V2X Programmers (Vehicle to Everything) are hungry for any safety advancements. Horsery® helps them for free.

Share this free website with your horse riding friends to encourage mainstream adoption - improving road safety for our sport.
