A no-upfront-cost road-safety pilot pathway for South African public authorities, with a separate programme route for mobility companies that can originate municipalities and support local deployment. Any later revenue-sharing rollout is subject to the relevant agreements and approvals.
The route you choose determines the authority, evidence and programme gates required later. It does not give an applicant authority to bind any institutional partner, operator or municipality.
For municipalities, road authorities and authorised public-sector representatives with a road-safety need and candidate locations.
For mobility, ITS, road-safety and infrastructure companies that can originate legitimate municipal opportunities and support local delivery.
The programme has two legitimate entry routes: a municipality or road authority can nominate a road-safety need and candidate sites, while a mobility company can originate a municipality and demonstrate local delivery capability.
A qualified municipality or mobility-partner opportunity that can progress through site survey, pilot evaluation and a governed rollout decision.
Choose the municipality or mobility-partner route and submit the required authority or relationship evidence.
Identify the road-safety need, locations and relevant public-authority context.
Sandbox Africa, the operator and technology partner assess fit, authority and delivery readiness.
A technical go/no-go review confirms the proposed pilot location and implementation design.
The pilot is installed and evaluated against the agreed road-safety and operating objectives.
Any wider deployment, procurement, enforcement or revenue-sharing arrangement proceeds only through the required approvals and definitive agreements.
The public authority identifies locations and progresses the permissions and authorised operating context. The technology/operator side progresses site survey, implementation design, equipment, software, connectivity and operational support, subject to the definitive local structure.
South African municipalities and road authorities, plus mobility / ITS startups and local companies able to originate and support legitimate municipal opportunities.
Municipality route: a South African municipality, road authority or authorised public-sector representative with a road-safety need and candidate locations. Mobility partner route: a South African mobility, ITS, road-safety, infrastructure or technology company able to demonstrate legitimate municipal relationships and local delivery capacity.
Municipalities: Expression of interest → location / road-safety brief → Sandbox screening → operator / Macq review → authority commitment / permissions → site survey → free pilot → evaluation → lawful rollout decision. Mobility partners: Company application → municipal relationship evidence → capability review → qualified partner pipeline → municipality introduction / authority commitment → site survey and pilot workflow.
