Abstract:
his research project work seeks to improve road
traffic data storage and accessibility through the use of WebGIS by
creating a road traffic accident data management system. A case
study method was employed with Nairobi County as the study area.
An Accident Management System was developed encompassing a
database managed by PostgreSQL and a webserver. It has the
advantages of having centralized data, readily accessible as opposed
to the current status where data access is constricted by office
working hours and manual data requisitions that take time to respond to. Simple statistical analyses are afforded by this system for data comparisons, estimations and inferences. The location of accidents
usually given in textual formats has been addressed hence viewing of
accident locations on maps is possible.
