Towards a Model for Driver Information Systems Use in a Developing Country

Abstract

This paper conceptualizes a model for the acceptance and use of Drivers Information Systems (DIS), in the context of a developing country. DIS are transport and traffic systems designed to make it easier for government officials and traffic officers to keep track of changes and occurrences within a country's roads and traffic registrations. That is, they are meant to improve the quality of traffic and management of transportation within a country. These systems include online vehicle registration, electronic payment of fines and electronic toll collection services. Although the Driver Information System has been implemented in some developing countries their acceptance and use has not been satisfactory. To this point, informed by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, Social Cognitive Theory and Organization Culture Theory, this paper conceptualizes a model for the proper acceptance and use of the system.
