Spatial and Temporal Collision Patterns
Inputs	Analysis	Output
Collision dataset (wildlife or motorist) Geographic Coordinates Time and Day Systematic Consistent Multi-species Multi-crash type Roadkill locations along road Road-killed turtle	1D and 2D Spatial and Temporal Algorithms (Kernel and Ripley's K Analysis) Weighted kernel function moving along road Ripley's K function showing spatial distribution	Collision hotspot map in space along road Collision temporal map for duration of occurrence Collision spatio-temporal hotspot map
Applications
1. Mitigation planning to reduce vehicle crashes with wildlife and motorists where mitigation (e.g. wildlife signage or crossing structures) should be placed using collision hotspot map when mitigation is needed using collision temporal map type of mitigation, i.e. temporary measures (e.g. modified speed limits) at dynamic hotspot locations and permanent measures (e.g. overpass) at reoccurring spatiotemporal hotspots 2. Species-at-risk recovery efforts 3. Core and corridor validation for natural heritage planning 4. Predictive simulation of collision trends, injuries, fatalities, and property damage 5. Wildlife population trend analysis
