This article discusses the problems of logistical support for road maintenance to manage road accidents in Vhembe district municipalities. A budget deficit model was used to explain the level of inadequate logistics support to manage operations and maintenance of municipal roads as a preventative measure against road accident and disaster risks. A hypothetical road maintenance deficit model informed by current literature on road maintenance was used to explain how cost of road maintenance increases exponentially if initial maintenance was not undertaken when the facility was newly constructed to draw the link between road maintenance and the risk of road accidents. Inadequate logistical support to address road maintenance backlogs in Vhembe district municipalities has been on the increase over the last 10 years. Current studies show that inadequate road maintenance can lead to the development of potholes – a major cause of road accidents and damages to motor vehicles. Literature on logistics support emphasises a comprehensive approach to road maintenance to provide a balance between funding, routine maintenance, quality of materials used for maintenance, use of stipulated specifications, the required maintenance technology, innovations and employment of qualified service providers to ensure quality roads and reduction of accidents on municipal roads.

According to current research result on the meaning, foundation, and evaluation method of technological innovation of enterprise in Shenzhen, the character of the innovation can be summarized as: utilizing the demand of the current market as a guideline, cooperating with research centers and universities, applying most of the innovation in practice quickly. For the future work, the research could be focused on the factors which might affect the ability of technological innovation. Those factors could be either external such as external finance and government regulations, or it could be internal such as the size of the enterprise. At the same time it is necessary to establish the innovation and evaluation service system for small and medium sized enterprises (SMES).
