SAFE CITY DAR
ROAD MANAGEMENT Main concept of the project SAFE CITY DAR is:
ROAD SECURITY CONTROL AND TRAFFIC MANAGMENT The traffic problem for Dar es Salaam city is road management. Investigating and analyzing traffic problem in the Dar es Salaam city our company found following problems in roads: cores role, discipline and no
regulation in roads. We presenting new concept for Dar es Salaam road management. What give us secure and put discipline in roads?
Public bus stops control and management
Police Yards and roads control management
Security zone control and management
Street lights, sings and road marking
Road footbridges (zebra crossing)
Taxi management and control
Tracks and other transport movement time and roll control
Roads cleaning and washing
Car Parking infrastructure system in city
We have 1.2 million transport and 2 million people in Dare es Salaam roads every day. More users of Dar es Salaams road are personal, office and government cars (500,000), taxis (10,000), public and other buses (20,000), trucks and cargo viscose (30,000), Bajaj (25,000), motorcycles (35,000) and others like Beggars, Road sales. By our proposal we are giving advice and methods how to fix road management problems, control and secure
Dar es Salaam city using new technologies and IT systems.

PUBLIC BUS STOP CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT IN DAR ES SALAAM
Bus stop management in Dar es Salaam city does not exist.
There is no industry of bus stop management, good comfort and services for passengers.
PROPOSED CONCEPT
New bus stop management proposed to change design bus stops in the city, using modern different design for
every bus stop, include new technology (information screens, CCTV cameras, kiosks and others) what be give
comfort and security for passengers. It be control bus movement by time table and no concentrate to many
busies in one bus stop. System gives us easy control and have statistic passenger’s movement.
We are suggesting and planning in cooperation with other company to fix modern bus stops in Dar es Salaam
city.

SAFE CITY DAR project will develop bus stop management in Dar Es Salaam for 2000 bus stops, give
more employment opportunity to people and do bus stops more secure.
IMPORTANCE OF BUS-STOPS
i) Good Hygiene
The National Environmental Policy (1997) highlights “Environmental Pollution” as one of the six major
environmental problems experienced in Tanzania. For some time now, low income vendors in food stuff have
found the city bus stops as the strategic points for the markets of their petty businesses. Incidentally, the
existing bus stops are severely prone to dust and other air-borne pollutions that render the food stuff that are
3
openly exposed for sell, so polluted. Such pollutions may result into insurmountable infections to the food
partakers. It is for these reasons that the bus-stop management project intends to build hygienic kiosks to
overcome the stated food pollution problems. The kiosks would also install waste collection bins and a system
of cleaning all its surroundings daily.
ii) Thermal comfort and protection from rains
On the other hand, Stressful thermal conditions and bad weather in general are the obvious challenges that
unprotected users of bus stops tend to face in Dar-es-Salaam. This is so true because in warm-humid
settlements that include Dar-Es-Salaam city, one of the main environmental challenges is excess heat that is
exacerbated by high humidity. Therefore, the bus waiters need not only protection from external heat
especially the direct solar radiation, but also mechanical thermal control devices like fans and air conditioners
for their optimal thermal comfort. It means that the bus-stop kiosks are meant to be thermally designed for
comfortable habitation. The third environmental aspect related with the bus stops is rain, which make
unprotected bus waiters at the stops uncomfortably wet. In this case, the bus stops kiosks require that are well
designed to protect bus waiters from even the driving rains.
iii) Security
Regarding security at the bus-stop, experience has revealed that many existing bus-stop shelters are
vandalized in search of building materials by the financially burdened small scale developers; and this is more
so with the roof-covering materials. It is therefore necessary to device a mechanism that would ensure the
security not only of the shelter structures of the bus-stops, but also of the operators and public users of the
kiosks. A computerized system using information screens and CCTV cameras that would recognize pleat
numbers and faces of offenders would be used. Moreover, the bus-stops are to be electrically lighted nights
through; and the kiosks are expected to operate for twenty four hours. Some duties for the security of the
kiosks would be vested upon contracted security guards and insurance companies.
iv) Efficient movement and parking of motor vehicles
The bus-stop management project would provide bus-stops with efficient movement and parking systems to
subdue the unnecessary traffic jams at the bus-stops. The system would also have full control of motor
vehicles other than public buses, such as Bajaj and bodoboda.
v) High class services
The bus-stops are meant to be provided with modern kiosks that would deliver high class services that include
not only advertisements and money vending systems (ATM, M-Pesa, Tigo-pesa, Airtel-money, etc), but also
airtime and vending services for water, coffee, soft drinks, bites, newspapers and magazines.
2. EXISTING BUS-STOPS
The existing bus-stops are of two categories; bus stops without any shades, and bus stops with simple shades.
The simple shades of bus stops so provided can hardly overcome driving rains and low level direct solar
radiations; Figure 1. Moreover, the simple bus-stop shades have no facilities for basic social services to bus
waiters. Thus the developer intends to improve the city bus-stops with kiosks that would meet these social and
environmental challenges.

Improved Bus Stations
3. COST RECOVERY
The developers expect to recover their investment costs through rental strategies of the bus-stops kiosks. The
developers shall rent or sublet the bus-stop kiosks to interested vendors at a nominal and negotiated rate
depending on how strategically located the bus-stop would be. Timely returns of investment costs would be of
prime concern. Thus, the bus-stops in their different classifications and locations would be given different
rental values on lump sum or percentage basis. The kiosk vendors would also be liable for taxation, thus
creating an additional source of revenues for the government. The Kiosk Vendors would sign a contract to run
and operate the kiosk; and thereafter, they would, through sub laws, be protected from the freelance vendors
who would otherwise invade their bus-stops to jeopardize their business and threaten their daily profits.
Implementation of the project would start with a few pilot project sites that upon their successful endeavors
the remaining part of the project would, through different contractors, be done in multiples to completion
stage in a shortly defined period of time.
4. CLASSIFICATION OF BUS-STOPS
Bus-stops in Dar-es-Salaam city roads have been classified into three groups; class-A with high population,
class-B with medium population, and class-C with low population. A modern and secure kiosk with high class
services is to be built at each bus stop. The hypothetical point of view is that the bigger the number of users of

a bus-stop, the higher the expected earnings from the businesses in the kiosks at the respective bus-stop over a
period of time.
Class-A Bus Stops
Class-B Bus Stops
The kiosks of class-B bus-stops are also placed one meter from the stops’ parking lot; space “C”. They are
meant for places with relatively an average of the medium number of users. A kiosk of this type measures
13.0xD; this is 13x2.8m2 or 36.4m
2. Each of these bus stops is divided into two room chambers; kiosk proper,
and café rooms.
The kiosks of class-A bus-stops are placed one meter
from the stops’ parking lot; space “C”. They are meant
for places with relatively an average of the highest
number of users. A kiosk of this type measures
20.0xD; this is 20x2.8m2 or 56.0m
2. Each of these bus
stops is divided into three room chambers; café, kiosk
proper, and waiting room. Water vending machines
are placed in the waiting and cafe rooms while an
ATM service is placed in a café room only. The kiosk
room is the center of other services, see figure 2.

They are meant for places with relatively an
average of the lowest number of users. A kiosk of
this type measures 8.0xD; this is 8x2.8m2 or
22.4m2. Each of these bus stops is composed of
only one room chamber; the kiosk. However, on
two of its sides the kiosk room is flanked by
verandahs that are 1.5m wide to be used for
waiting purposes. Neither a water vending
machine nor an ATM is provided; see Figure 4.

5 LOCATION OF KIOSKS IN THE ROAD SYSTEM
The width of the road bus stop was measured to identify the position or location of the kiosk in the road
system. The road was 15.5 meters from the residents’ area and the bus-stop shelter (kiosk to be) occupied
some 3.6 meters from the road; this is almost 4.0m; see figure 5. Just behind the bus-stop shelter, there is a
water drainage channel of 2.5m wide; and after the drainage channel there is a walk-way of 1.4m wide.
Dimensions in the diagram, Figure 5, may be read using the grids; in which case, one grid-box is one meter
by one meter.

6. DESIGN OF BUS-STOP KIOSKS
The described classification of bus-stops subsequently gives rise to different designs of the bus-stop kiosks.
One typical floor plan of a kiosk may have several forms of elevations for the purpose of acquiring several
different kiosks in terms of visual impressions from a single plan. The main elevations depicted in this case
are the front and rear elevations. So, we have, for instance, plan prototypes A, B, C, etc;. Therefore the
kiosks to be built would be identified by the name that combines the ‘plan prototype name’ and the related
‘elevation option name.’ Both, the plan name and the elevation name are contained in the abbreviated
elevation name. So, the number of a kiosk would be identified by the name of its elevation; as shown in
Table 1. One may opt to use the names of front elevations or of side elevations. There are cases where both
front and side elevations are provided; in such cases the two elevations are given the same number.

Security zone control and management
Safety - the key word in the list of priorities for each person, whether personal security, security of the
home or business. Current researches in this theme are not aimed at overcoming the problems and their
anticipation, as if to anticipate the threat and plan accordingly protection, the risks can be minimized.
Speaking of the safe city, we mean not only the equipment of households and critical urban infrastructure
surveillance cameras, but also the organization of safe traffic, the fight against crime situation, information
security, anti-terrorist activities, drug addiction, prostitution and pedophilia, the most convenient and safe
organization of the urban space (roads, parking lots, yards, parks, etc.).
To achieve the objectives required a completely new integrated approach comprising combining technical
and humanitarian components of the problems of urban safety. Safe Technologies of critical infrastructure,
secure telecommunications and security of every citizen, including his personal information, work to
educate and inculcate moral way of life - that's the foundation upon which to build the physical building
such a complex socio-technical object as "safe city."
IBM has quite a few cases of successful implementation of the concept of "smart city." "Safe Chicago", is a
project to combat street crime in New York, etc. Yet in terms of safety is one of the most exciting,
interesting - Rio de Janeiro.
Approach to the topic of safety, a good starting point to understand the profile of the city, and the risks, on
the basis of this analysis, develop a solution.
This security is understood in the broadest sense of the word - it is a criminal situation, and traffic
accidents, and environmental threats, and terrorism. It is often underestimated the risks - for example, if you
look at how many people die every year under the wheels. In general, the life of the city hung risk analyze
in the long run, it is very difficult, sometimes even impossible.
All cities have different risk profile, the main task - to create adequate space, goals and objectives of the
Control Centre.
From a technological point of view - this is important! - To create Control center is not so complicated.
After determining the safety profile of the city you are developing technological solutions. We need to take
decisions quickly, given the situation at any given period of time, while simultaneously translating the
solution to a large number of interrelated subsystems. The key question - how much information is
displayed on those same screens and how it is relevant to how people make decisions and how they are
professional in their field. The main difficulty - just the fact that this is responsible for the safety authority
has been set up in accordance with local characteristics, began to act established general rules. As a rule, in
different planes for different parts of a constrained situation center in the city meet the different structures:
the municipal authorities, police, police department, etc. Given that each of them has its own rules, its own
«KPI», wait synergies from such work is not necessary. Work on safety can be only in prevention rather
than fighting fires. By and large, its effectiveness - it is a question three priorities: the right regulations, and
building systems for prevention and response. Here, we just come to the question about the infrastructure -
it's the kind of technology are different "tricks" that are in Control centers.

TRAFFIC POLICE PATROL VEHICLE
This document outlines the proposed external and internal design of the Safe city Dar Police vehicles as
well as the fixture of equipment which will make the proposed vehicle competent enough to perform its
surveillance, patrol and monitoring task adequately. These law enforcement police vehicles will be
patrolling on the selected zones where our monitoring systems are installed and also will assist in
monitoring on the zones where our camera systems will not be installed. Devices and Equipment to be installed on the police vehicles:
1. Vehicle protection and enhancement equipment
Window Bar: is used to secure the windows against external intrusion, in order to keep vehicle equipment safe.
Door panel: is used to keep the doors safe from intrusion.
LED light bar: This device alerts other vehicles and people in times of emergency to give way to the police vehicle. It’s also an international identification of police vehicles worldwide.
Speaker: This loud speaker is used by police officers to give instructions to distant
vehicles or pedestrians, and can be heard from a long distance.
Sirens: This is a loud alarm that usually works hand to hand with the LED light bar in times of emergency to alert other vehicles and people to give way to the police vehicle.
Radio communication device: This device allows one way communication between the
vehicle and the headquarters.
2. Monitoring and surveillance
GPS navigation software: This software will be installed on the laptop in order to assist the officers in navigation.
Plate recognition cameras: These will be fixed on certain points on the vehicle in order to
recognize plate numbers in order to assist the officers in locating vehicles.
Two monitors: These will be used to monitor the vehicles on the zones under patrol, view navigation maps as well as other vital data sent from the control center.
Computer with client recognition software: This computer will be the one with our recognition software. It will allow the recognition of plate numbers as well as view of analysis the video information.
Laptop: The laptop will have different software that is required in the vehicle, eg,
GPS navigation software, etc.
3. Other Equipment
Medical box (first aid kit): As traffic police, its vital to have medical equipment incase life threatening situations as well as injuries occur on the road.
Alcohol tester: This device is important in testing drivers who are suspected of
drunk driving.
AED (Automated external defibrillator): The AED is very important during unfortunate traffic accidents and life threatening events, where casualties need to be revived.
Toolbox: Also a very important thing is the toolbox. The absence of tools in any
vehicle could lead to inefficiency in work as well as wasting of precious time.

TAXI MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
Following the regulation of taxis management in Dar es Salaam we found a) Every taxis have a fixed place for parking This means if taxis gets a passenger he will drive the passenger to their destination and will have to return back to the parking area empty, this results to the regulation whereby taxis charge twice or more of the regular amount Also it results to too much empty and unnecessary movement of cars on the road, to fix this problem we
need to change regulations on the parking system of taxis whereby each parking area of taxis will not be a
fix area for several taxis but for any taxis which will need a parking at any area given to the location and
area. We are suggesting and planning in cooperation with other company to fix an alternative taxis
management by Europe standard b) Every taxi will have a taxis meter. In which we will have a total control for taxis movement c) Security for the taxis driver and the passenger d) Price becomes two and more times cheap e) We will manage to release more than 80% movement of empty taxis on the road f) Changing design of taxis and using taxis for advertising. Having this regulation and permission under safe city Dar Es Salaam it will be developing taxis business in
Dar Es Salaam for 10000 taxis it will grows to 30000 to 40000 taxis will give more employment
opportunity to people for each taxis two drivers. It will also encourage formation of association which will
be in charge of all the taxis hence driver supervision such us checking on the driver discipline, uniforms
smartness.
14
TRUCKS MANAGMET AND CONTROL For trucks we will control their movement during day time as the road will be busy and on high speed the trucks will be allowed during low period of traffic that is from 10pm to 6:00am in the morning.
15
RICKSHAW AUTOMOBILES (Bajaj)
Rickshaw automobiles been brewing for more than three years now and does not seem to be slowing down
anytime soon as now the battle has been taken to the streets.
Rickshaws, or more commonly known bajaj now have a feud going on that is evident as being one of the
most aggressive business battles in the country with underhanded tactics and shameless dealings that have
seen a rise in violent acts among the two groups.
Bajajs has ruined business for taxi. Several drivers have displayed their anger when it comes to being on the
road with the bajajs. “These guys will wave provocative hand signals and taunts while on the road when
they know they are driving on the overtaking lane or moving real slow.
There are certain bajaj drivers who do not have licenses because there is less monitoring by police.
There are many reasons as to why people would use a bajaj over a taxi, but the prevailing one would more
than likely be the fare or cost of using a bajaj.
The bajaj was introduced six years ago as a project to help raise employment for the disabled in the
community but has since been taken over and commercialized by even those without a handicap.
There is a battle for supremacy raging and there is no evidence that it is going to end, and with the
introduction of motorcycles as public transport as well, a viable answer to when the animosity between the
groups might end is obscure.
As the taxis rate becomes lows the Bajaj will loss customer automatic and with time they will not be needed at the roads due to the speed of car.
16
MOTORCYCLES
This will not be allowed to carry passenger and also they will have specific area where they will not be allowed to pass.
BEGGARS
The problem of street begging in Dar es Salaam in particular is associated with the growth of urban areas
and aggravated by drought, famine and depressed economic activities. It is a serious problem especially in
urban areas Dar es Salaam. But also being with poor soils and degraded environments.
We will need strong police regulation to control beggars around the road due to the fact that the car will be on speed having the beggars on the roads could cause accident.
ROAD SALES The police need to control the people selling goods on the road to avoid unnecessary accident.
17
CAR PARKING MANEGMENT
Looking forth to the parking system in our streets it disturbs the movement on the road so it becomes risk for the by passer also contributes to unnecessary traffic jam. By taking control of the parking system we will encourage investment as people will develop area specific for parking cars or even building where people can park cars and help reduce the chaos cause by the poor and careless parking.
Multi-story car parking
18
ROAD CLEANING AND WASHING SERVICES
Following the local system of cleaning the streets which leads to traffic, as it’s done during the day. We will organize with contractors to invest on cleaning using machines of new technology which will take act during the night so us not to disturb or interfere the traffic. This will involve the roads under control of safe city Dar.
19
STREET LIGHTING SERVICES
One of more import ants of road management is having street light, we are planning to fix street light along the roads under SAFE CITY DAR project and grass walls between the street light poles.
Concept of street light is following
1. Security 2. Poles for transverse electricity power and fiber cable 3. Drivers not to drive while using full light
4. The grass wall will restrict people from crossing along the roads and also help monitoring the
amount of light from the other side of the road not to disturbing the driver of the other side of the road.
Using the street light poles we will connect network fiber and electric cable, almost been used to set extra control systems on most crucial areas. Street lights poles also the poles will be used for posting public and commercial advertising.
20
ROAD FOOTBRIDGES (zebra crossing)
A footbridge is a bridge designed for pedestrians and in some cases cyclists, animal traffic, and horse
riders, instead of vehicular traffic. Footbridges can be used decoratively to visually link two distinct areas
or to signal a transaction. In many footbridges are both functional and can be beautiful works of art and
sculpture.
SAFE CITY DAR project footbridges are impotent for 2 reasons.
Safely cross road
Use this striation for fixing outdoor information screens
21
Police Yards and roads control management
Taking the responsibilities of road management most of the street service will be under the SAFE CITY DAR project apart from road maintenance which is under the TANROADS management. We are going to provide the following street service
1 Emergence ambulance in case of an accident so as to relies the roads not causing traffic jam. 2 Police patrol 3 Break down service
This is to ensure the roads are clear and safe for the speed drives that our roads will be supporting.
22
REAL-TIME MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF A BUS PUBLIC TRANSPORT
AND BUS STOPS
For the public transport they need to have a fixed timetable which will assist us in the traffic light system as for the public transport the green light allows them to pass in which they will need to
have fixed station according to their areas location this will also help in the CCTV cameras for security.
For the public transport they need to have a fixed timetable which will assist us in the traffic light
system as for the public transport the green light allows them to pass in which they will need to have

By managing the bus stop we need to provide space for about four to five buses and an area for taxes to
park before the traffic lights so as the buses can stop to pick and drop passengers. These will ensure
conducts to the passenger and the drivers to follow the preserve areas and not create their own which
interferes the roads routes. The bus stop will be developed to a comfortable place to wait, this will also
involve placing of timetable which help mastering and monitoring the movements on the bus will stop.
Placing of advertisement will entertain n commercialize our product and service and a time table of buses
