As part of our innovative Big Data road safety project, IA&Eu: Capacitando jovens para um tr\u00e2nsito mais seguro<\/em>, we are excited to launch the Youth Engagement App (YEA) pilot in Ho Chi Minh City, Pleiku City, and Yen Bai starting December 2022 to January 2023. The launch engages students from 18 project secondary schools and colleges in Vietnam on how to use the App.<\/p>\n

Amplifique sua voz: Um aplicativo de engajamento juvenil para mobilidade mais segura<\/strong><\/p>\n

The YEA offers young people an efficient way to identify and report high-risk road conditions, providing them with a platform for their voices to be heard. Through the App, government officials will receive data as actionable recommendations to make effective and evidence-based road safety interventions. This will make it easier to identify blackspots for more in-depth analysis to determine the star ratings for school zones. Classifica\u00e7\u00e3o por Estrelas para Escolas (SR4S)<\/a> is an evidence-based tool for measuring, managing, and communicating the risks children are exposed to on a journey to school. It supports quick interventions that save lives and prevent serious injuries from day one.<\/p>\n

iRAP is supporting the three-year IA&Eu: Capacitando jovens para um tr\u00e2nsito mais seguro<\/em> project being delivered by AIP Foundation with the support of Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Botnar<\/a> \u2013 a Swiss philanthropic foundation working to improve the health and wellbeing of young people living in cities around the world \u2013 as well as the Funda\u00e7\u00e3o FIA<\/a> e E a\u00ed<\/a>. The Traffic Safety Committees and the Department of Education and Training of all three provinces support the launch of the App in their areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is the day that students will take charge in ensuring that their cities are safe. The YEA puts young voices at the heart of solving the global road safety crisis,\u201d shares Hoang Na Huong, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at AIP Foundation.<\/p>\n

Teachers empower students to raise their voices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to the launch of the YEA, AIP Foundation hosted, together with iRAP and the Ministry of Transport (MOT) the first hands-on training of the YEA to key government stakeholders and teachers \u2013 in Ho Chi Minh City, Pleiku City, and Yen Bai. The main objective was to provide an introduction to the\u00a0IA&Eu<\/em> programme as well as launch the YEA with instructions on how to use it and pass on the knowledge to their students.<\/p>\n

The capacity-building course, conducted by the iRAP team, was the first milestone for teachers to be empowered and play an active role in providing training to 1800 students from 18 pilot schools to use the App. In turn, these students will raise their voices for safer #streetsforlife. It brings us closer to our vision of a world where all neighbourhood streets are liveable, safe, sustainable, and walkable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe launch of the YEA will make a big difference for our next generation in Ho Chi Minh City, Pleiku and Yen Bai. Our future belongs to the youth, so we need to hear their voices to find the best solutions to the issues they face. We can only achieve safer streets across Vietnam if we work together,\u201d shares Colonel Pham Viet Cong, from the Deputy Office Chief of National Traffic Safety Committee.<\/p>\n

Acidentes de tr\u00e2nsito s\u00e3o a principal causa de morte para crian\u00e7as e jovens de 5 a 29 anos em todo o mundo. No Vietn\u00e3, o Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimou que mais de 6.200 crian\u00e7as e jovens de 5 a 29 anos morreram em acidentes de tr\u00e2nsito em 2019. Isso representa uma crise de sa\u00fade p\u00fablica que afeta desproporcionalmente os jovens. Melhorias nas estradas, gerenciamento de velocidade e fiscaliza\u00e7\u00e3o de fatores de risco comportamentais s\u00e3o necess\u00e1rios para enfrentar efetivamente essa crise.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0IA&Eu\u00a0<\/em>project was launched and tested in Ho Chi Minh City, Gia Lai Province, and Yen Bai Province from August to March 2021, with the possibility of scaling up to other regions and countries following successful initial trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that the YEA is a fantastic tool to create safer streets in my neighborhood. With the App, I can easily alert the local authorities and let them know where there is a danger. This App makes me feel safer. It also makes me feel like I am a part of the solution, which gives me the power to make an impact,\u201d shared Dang Phan* a local youth from Nguyen Hue High School at the launch event in Yen Bai.<\/p>\n

Nos \u00faltimos anos, a tecnologia de big data tem sido utilizada para transformar a seguran\u00e7a vi\u00e1ria atrav\u00e9s de an\u00e1lises preditivas, avaliando dados hist\u00f3ricos para identificar \u00e1reas de alto risco. Estes mapas permitem que as autoridades tomem medidas preventivas antes que ocorram fatalidades.\u00a0IA&Eu<\/em> programme revolutionizes road safety measures in Vietnam, paving the way for emerging technologies to address public health issues.<\/p>\n
