TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET that examines methods and strategies of data collection for wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC). To improve driver safety and develop more environmentally-sustainable highway systems, many state departments of transportation are developing mitigation actions and structures for WVC. The first step of these developments is collecting and analyzing data about the locations, types, and severity of incidents. Presenters discussed case studies from five different states that have developed methods to collect and share this data. They also shared lessons learned, explored the available analytical tools, and identified effective ways to inform the planning and delivery of WVC mitigation.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Ecology and Transportation.
