GIA LAI, YEN BAI and HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam – March 15, 2024
Our innovative Big Data road safety program, AI&Me: Empoderando a los jóvenes para carreteras más seguras, has been positively engaging youth to raise their voices for safe mobility across Vietnam. From December 2023 to February 2024, the AIP Foundation team was proud to share the program results and highlights with government stakeholders and partners in Yen Bai, Gia Lai and Ho Chi Minh City.
Empowering youth across Vietnam
As the AI&Me program wraps up across the three cities, we celebrate the following results: over 20,000 pins were scored to indicate high-risk areas using the Youth Engagement App, and over 1,800 young students were empowered with road safety skills. Program results also show that re- and post-intervention surveys of 1,468 youngsters demonstrated increased knowledge, attitude, and behaviors from 55.8% to 82%, 42.1% to 58.6%, and 39.6% to 57.1%, respectively.
Success sharing results with government partners
Los resultados incluyeron 106 escuelas de mayor riesgo según el análisis de Big Data, la aplicación de participación juvenil y los resultados de la evaluación de calificaciones de estrellas para escuelas, así como soluciones propuestas para que estas 106 escuelas mejoren su calificación de estrellas y reduzcan los puntajes de riesgo. 98 de las 106 escuelas identificadas a partir del análisis de Big Data tienen calificaciones de 1 a 2 estrellas para la entrada principal de la escuela (84 escuelas con 1 estrella: 3 escuelas comparten ubicación con otras escuelas, 11 escuelas con dos estrellas). Utilizando investigaciones basadas en evidencia sobre su impacto en la seguridad, se calcula una calificación de estrellas en ubicaciones específicas, donde 1 estrella es la menos segura y 5 estrellas la más segura.
The meetings were an opportunity for the results to be incorporated into the Citizen Portal (a public government website) of each provincial government. The government demonstrated a significant commitment to improving these schools based on the findings and recommendations.
AI for Good: Using Big Data to save lives on Vietnam roads
AIP Foundation’s three-year AI&Me: Empowering youth for Safer Roads program is supported by Fondation Botnar – a Swiss philanthropic foundation working to improve the health and well-being of young people living in cities around the world – as well as the FIA Foundation, Anditi, and the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). The Traffic Safety Committees and the Department of Education and Training of all three provinces support the launch of the App in their areas.
En los últimos años, la tecnología de macrodatos se ha utilizado para transformar la seguridad vial mediante análisis predictivos, evaluando datos históricos para identificar áreas de alto riesgo. Estos mapas permiten a las autoridades tomar medidas preventivas antes de que ocurran accidentes.
