- This is a readme file for a project i did during a hackathon focusing on coming up with solutions to help reduce traffic congestion in Nairobi
Traffic Congestion:
- Develop intelligent traffic management systems that can adapt in real-time to changing conditions, reduce congestion, and enhance the flow of vehicles.
Traffic Rules Compliance:
- Develop technology-driven solutions to ensure adherence to traffic rules, reducing accidents and enhancing road safety.
Traffic Coordination:
- Innovate ways to coordinate traffic across different modes of transport, ensuring smooth transitions and reducing bottlenecks at key points in the city.
Smart Parking Solutions:
- Innovate parking technologies that optimize the use of available spaces, reduce search time for parking, and integrate with city planning tools.
Public Transport Efficiency:
- Create solutions to improve the scheduling, routing, and capacity management of public transportation, making it a more appealing option for residents.
Vehicle Pollution Control:
- Address environmental concerns by proposing solutions that help reduce emissions from vehicles, especially in congested areas.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety:
- Enhance the safety of non-motorized transport users through innovative approaches to urban design and traffic management.
Efficient Parking Payment Systems:
- Create user-friendly, efficient digital payment solutions for parking, reducing time and hassle for drivers and improving revenue collection for the city.
- Twasonga is a swahili word that translates to let's move, this is a project that focuses on the Public Transport Efficiency challenge.
- It addresses this by making it easy for commuters to book a bus seat anytime they wish to commute so as to ensure that at any moment only 3 buses are at the bus stop.
- Nairobi oftenly experiences traffic jams due to a lot of buses wanting to access the CBD at once and for some of the times, they are empty buses.
- By having only three buses at a bus stop, 2 loading passengers and one offloading passengers and the rest in transit or at a set loation outside the CBD.
- This solution promises to help bus saccos in fleet management while also making it more convenient for commuters when in need of commuting.
- By having it as a USSD code ensures inclsivity of all devices whether smartphones or as we call them 'kabambes'.
- Backend: Django
- API: Africas talking USSD API
