Animal-Vehicle Collision Cost Analysis

Project #: 4W7929
Start Date: 08/05/2019
End Date: 08/31/2019
Status: Completed
ABSTRACT:

WTI will lead a cost-benefit analysis of an animal detection system (ADS) for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT).  MDT is considering a possible installation of an ADS along U.S. Highway 89, near Livingston, Montana.  The analysis will investigate factors such as the number of wildlife vehicle collisions (WVCs) on the road segment; the costs associated with large animal WVCs; costs to purchase, install and maintain a system; and the life span and effectiveness of a system.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this project is to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of an animal detection system (ADS) for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT).
