Paratransit and street usage study in preparation for the BRT pilot project in GKMA
Paratransit and street usage study in preparation for the BRT pilot project in GKMA: In 2019 AFD commissioned us to conduct a study map the public transport network of Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA). In 10 weeks we collected the data using our Route Observer application, observing 1492 trips and 587 routes operating out of Matatu stages across GKMA. Video feeds were used for traffic counts and machine learning algorithms were used to classify vehicles across selected sections for analysis.
