Abstract

The transportation of goods by road is crucial in Tanzania’s Central and North-South Corridors. However, challenges such as truck congestion and road accidents are affecting the efficiency of these routes. Road crashes are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, with Africa experiencing an exceptionally high rate. This study examines the opinions of Tanzanian truck drivers on the effectiveness of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in reducing road safety risks. A discriminant analysis was conducted to assess the awareness and use of these systems among different driver experienced groups. The results highlight the importance of improving infrastructure, ensuring vehicle safety standards, providing comprehensive driver training, and integrating innovative Intelligent Transport Systems to address road safety issues. In conclusion, the study provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to strengthen road safety measures in Tanzania, facilitating smoother road freight transport operations and promoting economic growth.
