An app to steer clear of Kenya's road hazards
Driving in Nairobi is often akin to navigating an obstacle course. Residents can now do something about it thanks to an app developed with EPFL.
The roads in Nairobi are studded with potholes, ditches and other rough
spots. There are no signs to warn people driving matatus – the
ubiquitous minibuses in the region – of the hazards lying in wait. And
in a city of 3.1 million residents, where the state of the roads
reflects that of the economy, repair work often only comes in fits and
starts. But a new app called CommuniSense, developed with EPFL, intends
to change things.
