Als onderdeel van de AIP Foundation’s innovative Big Data road safety program, AI&Ik: Jongeren sterker maken voor veiligere wegen, AIP Foundation, iRAP and the Ministry of Transport (MOT) hosted the first hands-on training of the Youth Engagement APP (YEA) to key government stakeholders and teachers – in Ho Chi Minh City, Pleiku City, and Yen Bai, Vietnam. The main objective was to provide an introduction to the AI&Ik program as well as launch the YEA App with instructions on how to use it.
Raise your voice: A Youth Engagement App for safer mobility
De YEA biedt jongeren een efficiënte manier om risicovolle wegomstandigheden te identificeren en te melden, waardoor ze een platform krijgen om hun stem te laten horen. Via de app ontvangen overheidsfunctionarissen gegevens als bruikbare aanbevelingen om effectieve en onderbouwde verkeersveiligheidsinterventies door te voeren. Hierdoor wordt het gemakkelijker om knelpunten te identificeren voor een diepere analyse om de sterbeoordelingen voor schoolzones te bepalen.
The trainings were facilitated by MOT & iRAP’s leading technical experts in their field:
- Shanna Lucchesi, Project Coordinator, iRAP
- Rafaela Machado, Star Ratings for Schools Global Coordinator, iRAP
- Mr. Le Van Thanh, Special list, Infrastructure Department, MOT
As a result of the training, the teachers will be better equipped to use the YEA app and play an active role in providing training to 1800 students from 18 pilot schools to use it. In turn, it is then these students that will raise their voices for streets for life. It brings us closer to our vision of a world where all neighbourhood streets are liveable, safe, and sustainable.
