CHAPTER ONE

1.0 Abstract

Safety along our roads is an important and crucial thing which ensures peace within our country

since without roads security, many things will go dead end. The aim of this proposal is to enable

ways of victims to report to any incident along the highway and not just victims but alsopedestrians and any road users. It will be a faster and efficient way to report incidents along the

road and to involve our security enforcers act swiftly to reduce loss of life and property. It

ensures that any form of incident is reported and acted upon accordingly. This will encourage

security along our roads and ensure that people act policemen since we have few policemencompared to the number of people to be served by them. However the information provided by

the witness of some event must be highly reliable and accurate. This system will enable

recording of blacklisted vehicles and drivers and proper punishment should be given to thehighway law offenders. It gives power to people to report any form of insecurity to ensure that

people become each others watchman and therefore respecting any road users right and safety.

LITERATURE REVIEW

There is no electronic method of reporting incidents that require immediate actions in order to

save life and property. This situation has always affected us since there are a few security

officials concerned with highway safety along our roads and sometimes it is hard for them tosalvage the entire situation fully therefore roads rules and regulations will always be violated by

the road users. Road safety system will restore law and order along the road and will not bediscriminative at all.

With this system pedestrians are able to report any incident they have seen on the road especially

dangerous careless driving this means they should take the registration number of the car and ashort description of the vehicle having caused an action and send a message to the highway

patrol officers who will then truck the given vehicle.

CHAPTER TWO

Highway patrol system will be a simple system to run since it will run on a mobile phone andeven on a computer. It will not only counter insecurity but also help passengers who are stuck in

dangerous areas while on transit. Life and property can also be saved through this system. Car

hijackers will have a complete hard time since the road blocks will be networked to ensure thatnobody cross a road block with a stolen vehicle or a vehicle which has caused an incident which

has caused any form of human or even animal harm. There is currently no system like this in

Kenya and therefore this will be a giant step in order to attain vision 2030 and taking Kenya to

achieve the vision.Users will be required to have registered their lines with their service providers to enable them to

be trucked in case they are needed in anyway. The users will be recommended to have an ID

card just in case they will be needed in court us witnesses of a mishap. It will be highly important

to maintain security of our roads in order to reduce the number of deaths and incidents that leadsto loss of property.

Problems encountered on our highways

1 Lack of enough officials who can handle insecurity incidents on our highways.

2 Lack of immediate response of security officials in case of arise of a mishap.3 Lack of an efficient and easy way to report an emergency on the highway.

4 Lack of a network system between our various road blocks.

5 Lack of a system that bridges a common citizen who cannot afford to reach a police station or

is far away from the station.6 Lack of a database system that keeps record of incidents along the highway.

2.2 Benefits of the proposed system.

1 It will encourage maintenance of law and order along our highways as everyone will be each

others watch man.

1 Storage of data containing crucial evidence would be stored assisting forensic investigation.2 There would be reduction of corruption along our roads as it would be possible for one to

upload an officer receiving a bribe while at the road.

3 It will encourage road users to believe in the traffic department which has highly beeninvolved with cases of corruption.

4 Reduction of paper work in our traffic department.5 Increased utilization of our mobile phones to counter insecurity offences along the roads.

2.3 Problem statement.

Road insecurity that has led to massive loss of life and property has been the order of the day in

Kenya therefore there should be increased systems that monitors our roads in order toreduce mishaps along the road. This will reduce the number of deaths which always keep

increasing due to careless driving on our roads. We will reduce

2.4 Objectives of the system.

1 Improvement to response to mishaps along our highway.2 To ensure that any incident that occur along the road is reported as long a witness with a phone

was at the scene of crime.

3 To reduce corruption incidents along our highway.4 To reduce paper work on the traffic department.

5 Increase efficiency of work in our traffic department.

6 Ensure that everyone is responsible while using the highway so as to reduce an event that can

lead to a disaster.

METHODOLOGY

Data Collection

Data will be collected in the police traffic department about the registration numbers of vehicles,

driving license numbers should also be included in the system. The ID department of Kenyashould also be included for the same to get the ID numbers of individuals and validating them.

Data Collection Instrument

The data will then be collected using existing databases in the traffic department and the Kenya

Revenue authority and the Kenya ID department. This will be done consulting the mentioneddepartments by use of reading the data and taking the softcopy of the databases.
