UoN STUDENT INNOVATES PASSENGER OVERLOAD DETECTOR.

Abundant Karanja, a first year student studying Urban Planning at the University of Nairobi, was among the students who presented his innovation at the UoN Talent day. This is a device that uses infrared technology to detect excess passengers in Public Service Vehicles and automatically alerts the NTSA.
