Keywords:
Strategic Intervention, Stakeholder Involvemen, Technology Integration, Sustainable Road SafetyAbstract
This study explored influence of Strategic Interventions and Sustainable Road Safety in Nairobi Metropolis Transport System. The main aim of this study was to establish the influence Strategic Interventions and Sustainable Road Safety in Nairobi Metropolis Transport System. The study pursued the following specific objectives to; establish the influence of Stakeholder Involvement and Technology Integration on Sustainable Road Safety in Nairobi Metropolis Transport System. This study was guided by following theories namely; Stakeholder Theory and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The methodology looked at the descriptive research design, study area and population, the sampling procedures and the sample, instruments of data collection, validity and reliability of research instruments, data collection procedures and methods of data analysis. The questionnaire was used as the main mode of data collection. The target population of the study consisted of employees of the Organizations. Systematic random sampling was used to sample 384 employees at the management level. A pilot test of 38 respondents in 4 Organizations was conducted to detect weaknesses in design and instrumentation. The study preferred a mixed research design. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation, p- values and coefficient of determination was used in the data analysis. The study concludes that stakeholder involvement has a positive and significant influence on Sustainable Road Safety in Nairobi Metropolis Transport System. Further, the study concludes that technology integration has a positive and significant influence on Sustainable Road Safety in Nairobi Metropolis Transport System. Based on the findings, the study recommends that that the managements of sustainable road safety in Kenya should deploy Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), particularly through real-time traffic monitoring and automated enforcement tools. Installing smart traffic cameras, speed detectors, and traffic signal control systems at major intersections and accident-prone areas can help monitor driver behavior, enforce traffic laws more consistently, and manage traffic flow efficiently.
