TraffiCage

Activity Monitoring of Individuals in Social Groups

  • trafficage

TraffiCage is an innovative tool specially designed for the surveillance and activity monitoring of group housed individuals in an social home cage setup like e.g. PhenoWorld. Each animal carries a transponder with a unique tag number. As animals roam through the cage, their position is detected by RFID antennas and stored for analysis.
