You can release the concept and implementation as Open Source, maybe to the guys over at iHub/Ushahidi. They can adapt and find a way to better utilise the solution .

Titus,Listers,
The issue is not if we can;it is when we shall do it.It is long overdue!
Many cities even in Africa use ROBOTS for traffic control.
The latest technological application in this area is the so called "INTERNET OF THINGS"

        technology

Listers,

Nairobi  is a great regional hub/city but its transport system by the twenty-first century is obviously lagging behind the needs of its economy and its citizens.

The population of Nairobi is growing daily and little being done on sustain ability initiative. Can we use technology for traffic management?
