Abstract:Animal-vehicle collisions (AVCs) are a growing concern as vehicle miles traveled and human encroachment into wildlife habitat continues to increase throughout the United States. Measures to prevent AVCs such as wildlife exclusion fencing and wildlife passages can impose significant investments for transportation agencies. One potentially less expensive approach is to use intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to modify driver behavior to reduce these collisions. This study investigated the effectiveness of ITS to disseminate seasonal animal movement advisories as a speed reduction tool on interstate highways in the field and replicated in a virtual environment.
