| dc.description.abstract | Accidents continue to claim many lives due to human errors that can be avoided by application of technology. Application
of intelligent transport systems (ITS) in the Transport industry has gained momentum and some government funded projects
have been rolled out in countries like United States, United Kingdom, and Canada among others. However, ITS projects
can be very costly and unattainable to developing countries if the right approach is not followed. Perhaps, this explains the
reason why many developing countries are yet to embrace the
use of ITS despite reporting among the highest road accidents. This paper presents a review on ITS and solutions they can
offer in reducing road accidents in developing countries with a focus of Kenya. This study assesses the impact of intelligent
transportation systems in alleviating road accidents. Motivation behind this research is to identify ways in which application of ICT can be applied through affordable and effective ways to help in the government and other transport stakeholders in getting a solution to the problem that affecting the society. A review of intelligent transport systems shows that if they can be effectively applied, accidents can be greatly reduced. | en_US |
