Abstract
Road collisions with wild animals are influenced by many factors. These include road conditions, time of year and time of day, the location of the road and the vegetation that is located near the road. In addition, an important element is the density of the population hence the number of vehicles on the roads and the factors directly affecting the traffic inci-dent such as the age of the driver and his experience. All of these factors should be carefully examined and monitored in the context of limiting the number of road collisions with wild animals. In many countries, such systems have already been introduced. In Poland at pre-sent some research is ongoing, but at the moment its results are not taken into account on a national scale. There is a need for further examination the relationships that directly affect the number of collisions with wild animals, and for this purpose it is necessary to develop accurate methods for the data collection, processing and analysis.
