In recent years, Kigali City has been facing worsening traffic congestion and an increase in traffic accidents due to the increased traffic volume caused by growth in both the urban population and the economy. However, as a result of the steep topography of the city, which has little flat land, it is difficult to construct new roads or widen existing roads, and the introduction of an Intelligent Transport System is necessary to make maximum use of the existing road infrastructure.

On the other hand, most of the intersections in Kigali City are roundabouts or have no traffic lights installed, with only 13 signalized intersections in operation, whose signal controls are not interlinked. Therefore, the introduction of an Intelligent Transport System to realize smooth traffic flow and prevent traffic accidents is an urgent issue.
This project will contribute to the sustainable economic and social development of Kigali City by facilitating and improving the safety of traffic flow in the city, and Rwanda as a whole, through the introduction of an Intelligent Transport System and the improvement of road intersections.
