Transport System Telematics, Burundi Case Study
Journal Title: Archives of Transport System Telematics - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Mobility supported via transportation processes are the engine to economic growth of any country. Unfortunately, the existing infrastructure cannot keep up with both growth of population and people mobility, especially in the developing countries. One of the main problem in transportation processes in Africa are accidents caused among others by reckless driving, fatigue, and illegal overloading, as well as poor transportation infrastructure. To improve transportation-oriented safety and drastically reduce transport based accidents and the unnecessary loss of lives are the main today important goal. Can this goal be achieved using telematics? Telematics is a fast-growing industry and it is interesting for various applications and places around the world. Th e subject of the article is the concept of transport telematics system and its introduction on the example of Burundi. In most cases, intelligent transport system applications in Africa are focused on: traffi c monitoring using CCTV cameras, automatic number plate recognition systems, automatic vehicle location systems, and variable traffi c management systems.
