Empowering Researchers with Data-Driven Insights

  • High-impact research requires high-quality data - yet when it comes to understanding logistics trends, infrastructure performance, and spatial impact, many researchers face significant barriers to accessing meaningful, location-based datasets.

  • The Logistics Monitoring System (LMS) removes these barriers by offering researchers access to extensive, near real-time datasets that track over 100,000 vehicles daily. Whether for academic study, public policy evaluation, or infrastructure impact analysis, LMS provides customisable data extracts and API access to empower evidence-based insights and innovation.

Why Choose LMS? 

Unlock powerful insights and capabilities to elevate your research

  • Access Logistics Data at an Unmatched Scale

    Over 100,000 vehicles tracked daily across key African corridors.

    Researchers gain access to robust, real-world logistics data that spans borders, regions, and transport modes. This empowers your team to analyse long-term patterns, test policy models, or conduct impact studies using credible and structured datasets — without the resource-intensive task of collecting it yourself.

  • Receive Tailored Data for Your Specific Research Focus

    Custom datasets and analysis support unique research objectives.

    Not all research questions are the same. LMS offers flexible access to curated datasets, filtered by location, time frame, or infrastructure element — as well as custom analysis services to align with your methodology or policy topic.

  • Integrate LMS Data Seamlessly into Research Systems

    Use APIs and exports to enhance your analytical workflows.

    With structured data formats and developer-friendly APIs, LMS allows research institutions to embed logistics intelligence into their platforms or analysis tools with ease. This saves time, reduces manual handling, and ensures consistency across studies.

LMS makes it easier for researchers to ask better questions, build stronger models, and inform more impactful decisions through logistics and transport data.
