Reducing Road Carnage Using a Web Based Model

The book provides a solution by designing and implementing a model that monitors traffic crimes committed by drivers on Kenyan roads by cumulatively computing the Driver Road Safety Index (DRSI) which serves as an indicator of identifying careless drivers and therefore withdraw them from the road by dispossessing them of the driving license. The model is implemented using a web based prototype. The study adopted scientific and design research approaches. Scientific approach was used to gather relevant data through focus groups required for coming up with relevant weights for different crimes. The engineering design approach was used to implement the model.
