Fine-scale analysis of ungulate-vehicle collisions in Southern Belgium ; Analyse der Huftier-Verkehrsunfälle in Süd-Belgien

Ungulate-vehicle collisions (UVC) are an increasing phenomenon in many European countries. These road accidents are a threat to wildlife populations but also to human safety and generate high economic costs. Wallonia, the Southern part of Belgium, is also affected by the UVC problem and offers an interesting study area because of its very dense road network and increasing big game populations. The aim of our study was to determine where and when UVC hotspots occurred along highways in Wallonia, in order to provide recommendations regarding the location and design of mitigation measures.
