Abstract

This section proposes the Integrated Intelligent Transport System (ITS) as a comprehensive solution to address major transportation challenges in Kenya. By conducting a thorough assessment of the country's transport system, the ITS aims to enhance road monitoring efficiency, safety, and sustainability. It integrates cuttingedge features like in-vehicle sensors and external monitoring units to monitor driver behavior, identify accident-prone areas, and streamline emergency collaboration and reporting processes. Emphasizing data transparency and evidence-based policymaking, the ITS seeks to create a safer and more efficient transportation ecosystem. Through these initiatives, the ITS lays the groundwork for long-term resilience and sustainability in Kenya's transport sector.
