ABSTRACT

Animal-vehicle collisions (AVCs) pose a serious threat to both human life


and wildlife populations, particularly in areas where roadways intersect with natural
habitats. The integration of technology into wildlife conservation has led to
innovative solutions aimed at mitigating these incidents. This study explores the
development and implementation of animal detection systems near roads using a
combination of computer vision, sensor networks, and artificial intelligence. The
primary goal is to enhance driver awareness in real-time and reduce the frequency
and severity of AVCs. Various detection methods, such as infrared sensors, motion
detectors, thermal cameras, and deep learning-based image recognition, are analyzed
for their accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness .Moreover, this research
evaluates the integration of these technologies into existing infrastructure,
considering factors like power supply, and data transmission. By employing deep
learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the detection
accuracy of animals in diverse lighting and environmental conditions has shown
significant improvement. Field experiments conducted in wildlife-prone areas
demonstrate a notable decrease in AVC occurrences post-deployment of such
systems . The abstract also addresses the challenges associated with large-scale
implementation, including the cost of deployment, maintenance, and the necessity
for cross-sector collaboration between transportation departments, wildlife
conservation agencies, and technology providers. Policy implications and future
research directions are discussed, adaptive solutions that can respond to changing
wildlife behaviors and road use patterns. In conclusion, animal detection systems
near roads present a promising avenue to ensure both road safety and wildlife
conservation, paving the way for smarter and safer transportation infrastructure.
