GIA LAI, YEN BAI and HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam – March 15, 2024

Our innovative Big Data road safety program, AI&Ik: Jongeren Versterken voor Veiliger Wegen, 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

resultaten omvatten 106 scholen met het hoogste risico op basis van Big Data screening, Youth Engagement App en Star Ratings for Schools beoordelingsresultaten, en voorgestelde oplossingen voor deze 106 scholen om de sterbeoordeling te verbeteren en de risicoscores te verlagen. 98 van de 106 scholen geïdentificeerd door de Big Data screening hebben 1-2 sterren voor de hoofdingang van de school (84 scholen met 1 ster – 3 scholen delen locatie met andere scholen, 11 scholen met twee sterren). Met behulp van evidence-based onderzoek naar hun impact op de veiligheid, wordt een sterbeoordeling berekend op locatiepunten, waarbij 1 ster het minst veilig is en 5 sterren het veiligst.

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 voor Goed: Big Data gebruiken om levens te redden op Vietnamese wegen

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.

In de afgelopen jaren is big data-technologie gebruikt om de verkeersveiligheid te transformeren door middel van voorspellende analyses, waarbij historische gegevens worden geëvalueerd om risicovolle gebieden te identificeren. Deze kaarten stellen autoriteiten in staat om preventieve maatregelen te nemen voordat er slachtoffers vallen.
