what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

The Systeme Intelligent de Transport entered its active phase in Greater Abidjan on 7 September 2021, run by the Ministry of Transport with the private operator Quipux Afrique after a test phase from May that year. The first deployment put 173 fixed radars — 40 of them warning-only — plus radar-equipped patrol vehicles on nine Abidjan corridors including Boulevard de la Paix, Boulevard VGE, the Adjame-Yopougon expressway and the Abidjan-Bassam motorway, and stood up an integrated management centre. Cameras, traffic sensors and radars feed one platform; offences are notified by SMS or in person. Speeding, red lights, illegal parking, phone use and seatbelts are detected automatically. The system has since been extended to corridors outside Abidjan.
📊 Impact
The transport ministry's planning directorate counted 8,928,453 offences logged by the STI from January to November 2024, of which 7,113,790 were video-enforced contraventions. The national gendarmerie's road-safety group said in March 2025 that it had recovered more than 2bn FCFA in fixed fines over 2024. The ministry also reports lower road mortality on equipped corridors but publishes no figure for it.
🎓 Lesson
Detection scaled far faster than collection or consent. Millions of recorded offences sit against fine revenue reported in the low billions of FCFA, and by March 2026 Ivorian outlets were reporting vehicle owners with accumulated fines approaching a million FCFA and taxi drivers refusing radar-covered routes — one driver called the system « une sorte d'anarque ».
