Methods to reduce wildlife collisions with rail vehicles

Abstract: W artykule przedstawiono problematykę zderzeń dzikich zwierząt z nadjeżdżającymi pociągami. Wyjaśniono przyczyny obecności zwierząt na torowisku i opisano potencjalne zagrożenia dla środowiska, jak i dla bezpieczeństwa ruchu kolejowego. W celu zmniejszenia szansy wypadku z udziałem zwierząt stosuje się różne rozwiązania: infrastrukturalne (utrudniające wstęp zwierząt na tory) i bodźcowe (ostrzegające przed zbliżającym się pociągiem) oraz metody wspomagające, które mogą zwiększyć skuteczność działania innych śr… Show more

“…Additional enforcement of speed limits in wildlife-sensitive areas and the implementation of effective warning systems, such as sound devices or vibration systems for early detection of the presence of animals near railroad tracks, can provide additional safety measures for both animals and train operators. Methods to reduce the number of collisions and their effectiveness are described in detail in [79]. Among the many different approaches worth mentioning are innovative methods of informing about an approaching train in the zone of potential collision with wildlife based on rail vibrations studied in Canada [80] (Figure 5) and animal crossing projects studied in Sweden [81] (Figure 6) or Japan [82], combining infrastructural methods with acoustic deterrents.…”
