This mobile application includes basic safety advice for motorcyclists from how to ride in a group to how to brake correctly. Although users may believe they have a certain level of motorcycle experience, there are always risky situations where users are unsure of the best strategy. This mobile application is essential for the "retraining process" that users should go through after obtaining their licence.

Formació 3.0 is a free programme to promote advanced training for motorcyclists by the Servei Català de Trànsit, in collaboration with ANESDOR. 

In these practical driving sessions, adapted to all levels, the motorcyclist rides for about 20 minutes, accompanied by a monitor who records the movements of the user. The images are then viewed to correct any faults.


The motorbike is also checked, indicating what needs to be improved in its maintenance. At the end of activity, the recording is handed over so the user can review and assimilate the information received.

Vive la Moto is the meeting place for motorcyclists who want to enjoy motorcycling in a fun, safe and sustainable way.

Users who are part of the Vive la Moto community enjoy self-created content (articles and videos) on equipment tips, motorcycle maintenance, safe riding techniques and information on the latest technological developments.

The platform also provides information on activities, routes and training schools where they can improve their riding skills.

Work zones signage control through Computer Vision to improve Road Safety
Work zones on roads are especially dangerous areas for construction workers, drivers and motorcyclists, and are difficult to interpret by driver assistance systems (ADAS). Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists Compliance with the procedures and correct maintenance of both vertical and horizontal signage allows the risks in these areas to be minimized.
An autonomous road inspection, using systems based on Computer Vision and sensors on board vehicles, allows frequent monitoring of vertical signs and objective analysis of the quality of road markings, facilitating instant corrective actions and the storage of evidence of the status of that area after each check.
Institutions such as Interbiak, Provincial Council of Bizkaia and Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa already use the ASIMOB Autonomous Road Inspector for frequent monitoring of their work areas.
This monitoring allows the risk prevention teams at the works to receive notices every time, in each check, a signal changes with respect to the previous check or fails to comply with the established procedure. In this way, immediate corrections are made and the work is maintained in optimal conditions. The solution saves evidence of all checks.

Seventh edition of the Fundación MAPFRE Awards for Social Innovation

Providing solutions to real problems is the main goal of social innovators, who through their projects contribute to meeting the social needs and demands of the public.

With them in mind, we are launching the seventh edition of the Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards, with the collaboration of IE as an academic partner, broadening our scope even further. In this edition can participate projects from four major regions: Brazil, the rest of Latin America, Europe and the United States of America.

Informative talk on Safety in School Transport on October 17

Do you know how minors can travel safely when they use the school bus?

In this talk we will inform you of the current regulations, how our minors currently travel, how they should travel to be safe and what we can do to make them travel safely.

PLUG&META®, the technology that transforms roads and equipment into connected and smart
Classic road safety equipment has always been passive, waiting for drivers to lose control, leave the road and suffer an accident against it. In that moment, they are necessary to contain and redirect the vehicle, as well as to reduce its severity and consequences. However, despite their generalized deployment in our roads, we still face deaths and severe injured.
PLUG&META® technology brings a new paradigm for road equipment, allowing the infrastructure to be proactive, to start talking to users and prevent accidents from happening. It also gathers road safety data and events for the road administration.
It is a digital system that can be integrated both into new or existing equipment, for example guardrails, bridge parapets, noise barriers or acoustic wall cladding for tunnels, crash cushions and others.
This worldwide innovation, patented and fully developed by Metalesa, provides active road safety to infrastructure, that is to say, the connected and smart infrastructure will have the capability to autonomous and continuously identify risks on the road (ex: ice, bad visibility, cyclist/pedestrians/animals on the road, excessive speed...) and activate in real time an adaptative LED signalling system to make drivers aware of the risk, and hence, allowing them to anticipate safer decisions. Thanks to PLUG&META® technology, key variables of risk detection, signalling and data collection can be configured from an open intuitive management platform, called PLUG&META® TRACE.

SLOW CITY
With our innovative project we want to involve university students in road safety. Slow City is a campaign based on the creation of various short videos made by the students about the benefits of speed reduction in our cities, especially saving lifes. Our main goal is to engage the students, but also the general youth by posting the videos and raising awareness peer-to-peer.

Road safety effectiveness of Safe Route to Schools in Barcelona
Safe Routes to School Program in Barcelona
The "Camí escolar, espai amic" (“Safe Route to School, friendly space”) program began with the aim of increasing children´s and adolescents personal autonomy, responsibility and quality of life on their way to school or while walking around the neighborhood.

The program promotes road safety education in schools through an educational program conducted within the school and the community, and changes in the environment around the school. It is led by the Municipal Institute of Education of Barcelona (IMEB) and carried out in collaboration with the Department of Safety & Mobility of Barcelona. In each education center it includes four phases: Phase 0: We start to walk, for the definition of the project; Phase I: We explore the path, to carry out the diagnosis. Phase II. We go out into the neighborhood, to create the network of friendly spaces and celebrate the work done. Phase III: We keep the path alive, to evaluate and guarantee the sustainability of the project in the school and the educational community.

In Barcelona, police data on traffic injuries is geocoded and allows time series analyses since 2002. There are around 9,000 injuries due to road traffic crashes each year, with 11,000 persons injured, around 300 severely injured, and 15-25 fatalities in the most recent years. Pedestrians represent around 13% of all casualties, with the highest incidence occurring among young and old people.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program “Camins Escolars” conducted in Barcelona from 2006 to 2016 in reducing the number of road traffic collisions and injuries in the school environment.

The study used a pre-post quasi-experimental evaluation design, with a matched comparison group, including 64 intervention schools and 63 comparison schools. Outcomes included collisions and people injured within a radius of about 200 meters around schools during school hours, using geocoded data (2002-2019) from the local police register, and contextual variables. For each outcome measure, we fitted generalized linear mixed model with Poisson distribution.
