    Challenges in the Management of Road Safety in Tanzania: The Need for an Integration Framework
    (The Open University of Tanzania, 2016-07-22) Kimaro, Honest; Mvungi, Nerey H.; Kundaeli, Herald; Hamisi, Ndeyetabura
    Tanzania is hardest hit by daily accident deaths and casualties on the roads. Although various measures have been taken by the government, enforcement agencies and NGOs, accidents and fatalities keep growing at a rate above that of killer diseases like malaria, tuberculosis and HIV. The main causes observed were that road safety has multiple key autonomous stakeholders having different fragmented information systems which are not inter-operable because of being proprietary in nature, thus inhibiting the timely and coordinated sharing of information among them. This paper presents the lessons learned from different stakeholders following a series of workshops and meetings with these key stakeholders to understand the problem from their institutional contexts. Hence, an integration framework is developed and implemented to facilitate enforcement of road traffic regulations and to enable the different stakeholders cooperate and share information efficiently and with transparency in sustained road safety regulations enforcement. It is envisaged that if the integrated platform is successfully adopted, it can reduce the heavy duplication of efforts and investment in incoherent data systems by individual stakeholders in terms of hardware, consumables and personnel resources. The integrated platform for the road safety management system is in place, however, it needs a policy direction from the government to galvanise the major stakeholders.

    UDSM Researchers Comes with an Inspiring ICT-based Solution to Improve Road Safety
    (Guardian News Paper, 2016-08) Mndeme, Mathew M.; Mvungi, Nerey H.; Kundaeli, Herald K.; Kimaro, Honest C.; Hamisi, Ndeyetabura
    Researchers at CoICT lead by Prof Nerey Mvungi, Dr. Honest Kimaro, Prof. Herald Kundaeli, Dr. Hamisi Ndetabura, and Mathew Mndeme, are undertaking a scientific research on how authorities responsible with road safety management can leverage on the potential of ICT-based systems in addressing safety challenges. This research project is supported by TCRA in its efforts to advance ICT researches and innovations in the country. Since the inception of this study over two years ago, CoICT researchers have consulted a number of stakeholders including all relevant government authorities/institutions involved with transportation and road safety management, the focus being to understand existing information systems and those in pipeline for implementation. Researchers have established relationships among these systems and their challenges that can be addressed through ICT innovative solutions. One of the immediate outputs to the study is the development of an Integrated Road Safety Management System, Christianised as iROAD

    UDSM waja na Suhuhisho la Kielekroniki Kuboresha Usalama wa Barabarani
    (Habari Leo, 2016-08) Mndeme, Mathew M.; Mvungi, Nerey H.; Kundaeli, Herald K.; Kimaro, Honest C.; Hamisi, Ndeyetabura
    Kwa kuzingatia changamoto zilizooanishwa hapo juu na nyingine, watafiti wa fani ya TEHAMA wa CoICT wakiongozwa na Prof. Nerey Mvungi, Dkt. Honest Kimaro, Prof. Herald Kundaeli, Dkt. Ndyetabura Hamisi na Bw. Mathew Mndeme chini ya ufadhili wa Malamlaka ya Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA) na kwa kushirikiana na wadau mbalimbali wanaojishughulisha na usalama barabarani, wanafanya utafiti wa jinsi ya kutumia mifumo ya TEHEMA ili kuchangia katika kutatua matatizo ya utekelezaji wa sheria na kanuni za usalama barabarani. Kwa zaidi ya miaka miwili iliyopita, CoICT imekutana na wadau mbalimbali kama Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani na ya Ujenzi na Mawasiliano, Jeshi la Polisi, Sumatra, Tanroad, Costech, TRA, na wengine wengi ili kuelewa mifumo ya taarifa iliyopo na inayotegemewa kutumika. Hali kadhalika, kuona kama kuna uhusiano wa mifumo iliyoko kati ya taasisi moja na zingine, pamoja na changamoto za mifumo hiyo ili kutafuta suluhisho la kitafiti kupitia matumizi ya TEHAMA. Moja ya matokeo ya la utafiti huu ni mfumo wa kielekroniki ujulikanao kama Integrated Road Safety Management System au iROAD kwa kifupi.
