Antler Road Safety App
ANTLER ROAD SAFETY APP

Know the dangerous stretch before you're in it.

Antler Road Safety App is a driver alert app that warns you as you approach wildlife-collision hotspots and historic fatality zones, using state crash and carcass data plus real-time sightings from other drivers.

● WORKING PROTOTYPE · PILOT CORRIDOR US-34, COLORADO

MP 01The problem

Wildlife collisions are common, costly, and often predictable.

Many collisions happen in the same places year after year. That information sits in state databases and roadside memorials, but it rarely reaches the driver at the moment it matters.

1–2M

collisions between vehicles and large animals on U.S. roads each year

~200

people killed in those collisions annually

$8B+

estimated yearly cost in damage, injuries, and response

MP 02How it works

A heads-up, not a distraction.

Antler runs in the background on your drive and speaks up only when a known hazard is coming.

Pick your route

Choose where you're starting and where you're headed. Antler loads the hazard zones along the way.

Get warned ahead

As you approach a wildlife hotspot or fatality zone, you get a clear alert with distance and what to watch for.

Report what you see

Spot animals near the road? Tap to report it so drivers behind you get a fresh, real-time warning.

MP 03Colorado pilot

Starting on US-34, the road into Rocky Mountain National Park.

Corridor
US-34, Larimer County, through to Rocky Mountain National Park
Why here
Heavy tourist traffic, mountain curves, and large elk and deer populations
Data
Crash and wildlife-carcass records provided by CDOT, plus federal fatality data (NHTSA FARS)
Status
Working prototype with mapped zones, route selection, trip history, and sighting reports

We're careful with the data

Every zone is checked against real records. Federal data shows no animal-related fatalities on this corridor from 2015 to 2024, and the app says so plainly. Wildlife zones on US-34 are built from collision and carcass data, not from fear.

MP 04Where we're headed

From one corridor to the whole drive.

The long-term goal is coverage you can trust across state lines, so a driver crossing Montana end to end sees every hazard on the way.

NOW

Colorado · US-34

MP 05Who it helps

Built for drivers. Useful to everyone who keeps roads safe.

Drivers and families

Locals, commuters, and visitors on unfamiliar mountain roads get warnings where they count.

Insurers and fleets

Fewer animal-strike claims and safer drivers, with a tool that can be offered to policyholders and fleet operators.
