The effect of traffic intensity and animal activity on probability of ungulate-vehicle collisions in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Traffic infrastructure and its traffic flows has rapidly developed in recent decades. This development brings benefits to society, but on the other hand has many negative impacts on the environment. Among the most significant impacts of road traffic is direct mortality of free-ranging animals due to vehicle collisions. The main aim of this study was to compare the significance of traffic intensity fluctuation and ungulate behavioural patterns with the probability of ungulate-vehicle collisions (UVCs) occurrence in the Czech Republic. Our research question was whether the probability of UVC occurrence is influenced mainly by vehicle traffic related factors (traffic intensity, road types) or by ungulate locomotory activity. We used information on UVCs from 2011 to 2013. We used Spearman s rank p correlation coefficients to examine relationships between UVCs and traffic intensity fluctuation, and between UVCs and the locomotory activity of red deer and wild boar during 24-h cycles in respective months
