Road safety data in Rwanda.

The corridor protocol was authored through Protocol Lab, and each nation's node was designed as an architecture of its own, shaped by lessons from the other five. Azul Tech deployed Rwanda's node with the national police and MININFRA, and it took part in the peer interoperability audits every node passed before go-live.

The rollout in Rwanda.

Phase 01

Protocol design

Authored the corridor's open crash-data schema and exchange rules with regional stakeholders.

Phase 02

National platform

Built and deployed Rwanda's node on its own sovereign infrastructure.

Phase 03

Field rollout

Rolled out mobile incident capture to traffic units nationwide, starting with the Kigali to Gatuna axis.

Phase 04

Certification

Took part in peer interoperability audits, in which every node was tested against the shared corridor protocol before going live.

Outcomes for Rwanda.

  • Reference architecture every corridor node conforms to
  • Nationwide crash data replacing paper registers
  • Audit-ready evidence base for national road safety policy
