- W653555507 abstract "Wildlife-related motor vehicle accidents are an increasingly significant environmental and public relations problem for transportation agencies. Nationally, growing public expectations for motorist safety and protection of endangered species, as well as increasing political influence of wildlife advocacy groups, are forcing transportation officials to address the wildlife accident situation. Without fundamental, long-term information on wildlife accident types, locations and trends, transportation officials can not avoid the risk of marginal, ad hoc decisions regarding accident mitigation efforts. At present, only British Columbia has a comprehensive, province-wide system for reporting and analyzing highway-related wildlife accidents. Since 1978, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation (BCMoT) has used its Wildlife Accident Reporting System (WARS) to systematically record the location, number, and type of wildlife accidents reported by its maintenance contractors. The WARS database contains long-term wildlife-related accident records that cannot be assembled or extrapolated from any other information sources. To meet conventional operational Ministry needs, WARS data is used to rationalize the placement of wildlife warning signs and wildlife exclusion fencing as well as determine the effectiveness of wildlife warning reflector installations. As part of BCMoT's continuing efforts to foster new wildlife accident mitigation techniques, WARS data is being used to identify suitable sites for highway tests of an infrared camera detection system now under development by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. Both motorists and wildlife have benefited greatly from BCMoT's systematic approach to collecting and analyzing wildlife accident data on a province-wide basis. Given its ease of implementation and administration, and low cost, the WARS system offers a framework suitable for wildlife accident data collection and accident mitigation analysis by other transport agencies." @default.
