Abstract:Wildlife-vehicle collisions are a common and costly occurrence on U.S. roadways. An estimated 1 million vertebrates are killed on American roads each day. Most wildlife-vehicle collisions of importance occur with deer. The goal of the proposed research is to better understand wildlife-vehicle collisions in Illinois and to identify mitigation strategies that are available to help reduce the negative impacts. Researchers will identify data collected on wildlife-vehicle collisions in Illinois, identify areas where those collisions are most common and the factors that may influence their occurrence, identify mitigation strategies to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, and understand where data and information gaps are and make recommendations for data collection and testing of mitigation efforts for wildlife-vehicle collisions.
