  1. 1. Effect of conventional bridges on deer-vehicle accidents

    Keywords : conventional bridges; deer-vehicle collisions; fauna adaptations; moose; roe deer; traffic mortality; wildlife passages;

    Abstract : This study evaluated whether the density and design of conventional bridges affected the frequency of reported deer-vehicle collisions along a given road or railroad section. I used official accident data from roads for 2008-2010 and from railways for 2001-2010, data on bridges and infrastructure together with digital topographic information, and estimates of regional abundances of moose (Alces alces) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) to develop generalized linear models of the parameters influencing the occurrence of deer-vehicle collisions.
