Wildlife Detection Technology
Tender Overview
About this tender
Overview The Department of Transport and Main Roads (QLD) has issued Request for Information (RFI) TMRICTRFI26178, Wildlife Detection Technology. TMR is seeking information on available and emerging solutions that support a range of capabilities associated with wildlife management in road environments. About Wildlife-vehicle collisions are an ongoing challenge across road networks and can present safety risks to road users, contribute to wildlife injury and mortality, and create operational, maintenance and environmental management impacts. While static wildlife warning signs are deployed across parts of the State Road Network to warn drivers to the potential presence of wildlife, their effectiveness in influencing driver behaviour or reducing collision incidents may be limited. As part of its ongoing commitment to improving road safety outcomes and exploring innovative approaches to network management, TMR is investigating the current state of wildlife detection and driver warning technologies. Advances in sensing, monitoring, communications and artificial intelligence technologies may provide opportunities to improve the real-time detection of wildlife on or near roads and support more targeted warnings to drivers. Purpose TMR is interested in identifying technologies that can fully or partially support the four pillars of wildlife management capability in road environments. Scope The capabilities of interest are divided into four core pillars. TMR is seeking information on solutions that support: Detection: the automated detection of wildlife near the State Road Network Identification: automated wildlife classification and identification, including accurate identification of wildlife species Monitoring: automated monitoring of wildlife road-crossing activity and/or in proximity to road infrastructure Alerting: the automated generation of real-time alerts, notifications or warnings when wildlife is detected on or near road environments/corridors, together with reporting and analytics to support driver awareness
