The RKR model as a probabilistic calculation method makes it possible to utilize technological progress in the field of remote sensing (e.g. Copernicus programme of the EU) in combination with objective movement data from telemetry (tracking of birds with GPS trackers) in order to determine standardized, comprehensible and precise scientifically sound results for calculating the space use and collision risk of breeding birds at wind turbines with low uncertainties and reproducible results (based on a standardized methodology defined by calculation rules). It empirically takes into account the factors relevant to the collision risk according to the current state of research, such as 3D space use depending on the habitat, species-specific avoidance behaviour at wind turbines and current breeding place information from expert mapping as well as the average rotational speed and dimensions of the wind turbines.
