SYSTEMS OF ANIMAL DETECTION ON HIGHWAYS. EXPERIENCE OF USA AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

. The experience of the countries of Western Europe and USA was analyzed, the purposes and methods of implementation of wild animals detection systems on highways are developed. Problem statement. The reduction of the natural habitat of wild animals leads to an increase in the number of road accidents. Animal detection systems are aimed at reducing the frequency of collisions between wild animals and vehicles. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyze the literature on the effectiveness and evaluation of the implementation of wild animal detection systems; to elaborate sources that describe the history of implementation and experience of foreign countries. Materials and methods. Analysis of foreign sources on the implementation of wild animal detection systems. Results. The analysis of foreign information sources on the implementation of wild animal detection systems was carried out. Conclusions. The experience of the countries of Western Europe and North America is described, the efficiency of implementation of wild animal detection systems is analyzed.
