Tenders Are Invited For Research And Development Services And Related Consultancy Services - Development Of Practical Standards For Control Procedures In Environmental Monitoring According To M Aq (Information Sheet On The Installation Of Crossing Aids For Animals And The Networking Of Habitats 2022)) Crossing Aids Built

Research And Development Services And Related Consultancy Services - Development Of Practical Standards For Control Procedures In Environmental Monitoring According To M Aq (Information Sheet On The Installation Of Crossing Aids For Animals And The Networking Of Habitats 2022)) Crossing Aids Built. As Part Of A Research Project, An Extensive Analysis Of Existing Monitoring Studies On Crossing Aids On Traffic Routes In Germany, Austria And Switzerland Was Carried Out. A Total Of 97 Reports Were Identified And Evaluated And Data On 567 Crossing Aids Were Brought Together In A Central Database. The Results Show Deficits In Previous Monitoring Practice, Which Significantly Limit The Systematic Use Of The Collected Data For Planning And Evaluation. In Particular, There Is A High Degree Of Variability In Terms Of The Methods Used And The Quality Of The Individual Studies. Different Survey Approaches, Data Collection Methods And Inconsistent Evaluation And Documentation Standards Mean That The Insights Gained Are Only Comparable To A Limited Extent. In Addition, A Lack Of Standardization In Data Collection And Processing Makes Comprehensive Analysis And Consolidation Of The Results Difficult. Against This Background, There Is A Significant Need To Develop Uniform, Practice-Oriented Standards For The Monitoring Of Crossing Aids. The Aim Of This Research Project Is, Based On The Available Findings, To Develop A Standardized And Quality-Assured Concept For Control Standards According To The “Information Sheet On The Installation Of Crossing Aids (M Aq 2022). The Aim Is To Improve The Comparability Of Results, Enable Transferability To Future Projects And Create A Reliable Data Basis For Planning, Evaluation And Decision-Making. Minimum Methodological Standards For Data Collection, Evaluation And Documentation Must Be Developed That Correspond To The Different Framework Conditions In The Take Practice Into Account And At The Same Time Ensure High Data Quality.
