• Abstract:
  The purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model to identify road segments in Virginia at high risk of white-tailed deer- or black bear-vehicle collisions. A related objective was to develop a benefit-cost methodology that complements the predictive model and supports consistent and defensible benefit-cost analyses for large animal-vehicle collision safety improvements in Virginia.
