Planning and prioritization strategies for phased highway mitigation using wildlife-vehicle collision data

Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions – Effective Mitigation Strategies USING SPECIALISED TUNNELS TO REDUCE HIGHWAY MORTALITY OF AMPHIBIANS

Previous studies identified roads as a source of habitat fragmentation and mortality for amphibians in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada, thus reducing the effects of roads became an important management issue. Vehicle traffic resulted in appreciable mortality of the Linnet Lake population of long-toed salamanders when adult and juvenile animals moved between this breeding site and ...

Wildlife-vehicle collision hotspots at US highway extents: scale and data source effects

Highways provide commuter traffic and goods movement among regions and cities through wild, protected areas. Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) can occur frequently when wildlife are present, impacting drivers and animals. Because collisions are often avoidable with constructed mitigation and reduced speeds, transportation agencies often want to know where they can act most effectively and what ...

Multi-Body Integrated Vehicle-Occupant Models for Collision Mitigation and Vehicle Safety using Dynamics Control Systems

Enabling a Wildlife-roadway Collision Warning and Mitigation System Using Wireless Sensor Networking Technologies

With the development of regional economic and transportation system, more and more people in the world count on the vehicles to go out. At the same time, many highway systems are build across the habitat of the wild animals, so people’s lives and property are threatened by the traffic accidents caused by the wild animals. As a result, the wild animal detection and notification system has drawn ...

Spatial wildlife-vehicle collision models: a review of current work and its application to transportation mitigation projects.

In addition to posing a serious risk to motorist safety, vehicle collisions with wildlife are a significant threat for many species. Previous spatial modeling has concluded that wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) exhibit clustering on roads, which is attributed to specific landscape and road-related factors. We reviewed twenty-four published manuscripts that used generalized linear models to st...
