Abstract
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
