Impact Evaluation of Älgskadefondsföreningen’s Wildlife Simulator (English)
Abstract [sv]

Älgskadefondsföreningen har sedan 2015 demonstrerat sin viltsimulator, en liten portabel körsimulator med scenario där vilt kommer upp på vägen så att det är mycket svårt att undvika att köra på det. Effekterna av denna demonstrationsverksamhet undersöktes i en webbenkät, med n = 751 respondenter med erfarenhet av viltsimulatorn, och n = 4 585 respondenter utan erfarenhet av viltsimulatorn. Resultaten visade att de som har haft viltkontakt efter att ha kört eller sett någon annan köra viltsimulator tror att de haft nytta av sin erfarenhet från viltsimulatort. Mer rutinerade förare och de som varit med om viltolycka eller viltincident före 2015 tycker sig ha mindre nytta av sin erfarenhet från viltsimulator. De som har varit med om viltolyckor och viltincidenter innan sin erfarenhet från viltsimulator har också sedan, efter sin erfarenhet från viltsimulator, haft relativt få viltolyckor i förhållande till viltincidenter. Det fanns också ett positivt samband mellan antal utspridda träningstillfällen i viltsimulator (åren 2015–2023) och antal viltincidenter, medan motsvarande samband med viltolyckor inte fanns. I övrigt var det ickesignifikanta effekter av erfarenheter från viltsimulator. Slutsatserna är att demonstrationerna av viltsimulatorn uppskattas och bedöms som värdefulla vid påföljande kontakter med vilt i trafiken, och att upprepad träning i att undvika kollision med vilt bör vara gynnsamt för att minska viltolyckor.  

Abstract [en]

Älgskadefondsföreningen has since 2015 been demonstrating its wildlife simulator, a small portable driving simulator with scenarios where wildlife (game) comes up on the road so that it is very difficult to avoid hitting it. The effects of this demonstration activity were investigated in an online survey, with n = 751 respondents with experience of the wildlife simulator, and n = 4 585 respondents without experience of the wildlife simulator. The results showed that those who have had wildlife contact afterdriving or watching someone else drive a wildlife simulator believe they have benefited from their wildlife-simulator experience. More experienced drivers and those who had been involved in a wildlife accident or incident before 2015 felt that they had benefited less from their wildlife-simulator experience. Those who had experienced wildlife accidents and incidents before their wildlife-simulator experience also had relatively few wildlife accidents in relation to wildlife incidents after their wildlife-simulator experience. There was also a positive correlation between the number of scattered training sessions in a wildlife simulator (years 2015–2023) and the number of wildlife incidents, while there was no corresponding correlation with wildlife accidents. Otherwise, there were non-significant effects of wildlife-simulator experience. The conclusions are that the wildlife simulator demonstrations are appreciated and considered valuable in subsequent wildlife contacts in traffic, and that repeated training in avoiding wildlife collisions should be favourable for reducing wildlife accidents.
