Abstract

The purpose of the 2018 Verification of Crowdsourced Crash Reports survey is to physically verify road traffic crash (RTC) reports that were reported by bystanders in Nairobi, Kenya using Twitter/Ma3Route. Ma3Route is a mobile/web/SMS platform that crowdsources transport data and provides users with information on traffic, RTCs, matatu directions and driving reports. Users post RTC or traffic information to Ma3Route, where Ma3Route then publishes the post on Twitter. In this survey, we sought to verify the accuracy of crowdsourced information as a source of RTC data.
