AB  - This article describes a model used to establish the probability of a collision between a vehicle and animals on roads. Analysis of data obtained from measurements provided by automatic radar enabled us to find general relationships which determine the distribution of time gaps between vehicles in traffic flow. These results were applied (with other applications) to assessments of the impact of traffic on wildlife. These simplified models have demonstrated the road barrier effect, with a certain traffic intensity, on the wildlife.
