Abstract:

Thanks to ongoing support from the UTC program and other partners, Western Transportation Institute (WTI) researchers at Montana State University have created a fully functional tool that makes it easy for road crews to collect accurate information about wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs). For transportation and resource agencies, the immediate benefits include identification of high risk road segments, access to information that supports mitigation efforts, and the availability of paperless reporting options. If widely deployed, the tool has the potential to increase the collection and cross-jurisdictional sharing of standardized, accurate WVC data across North America. Over the long-term, this may produce broad benefits, including enhanced safety for travelers, preservation of wildlife and their habitats, and targeted initiatives to protect endangered species.
