East Asia & Pacific Green Transport ICT

Project Summary:

With safer and more efficient transportation networks, people living in large cities benefit from reduced travel times, accidents, and emissions. Linked to a road safety data-collection-and-analysis platform, this program promotes innovative approaches to build the capacity of transport agencies to use the data platform to improve transport planning and management. The program aims to strengthen sustainable and inclusive city growth by helping the effective development of an open-source platform and building university-level technical capacity.  

List of Activities:

• Improving the efficiency of recording, accessing, and sharing road accident data reported by local traffic enforcement units, the national police, and the hospital system
• Creating open-source tools to support: (i) use of historical data to inform traffic management and investment decision making; and (ii) monitoring of the efficacy of road safety improvements
• Providing real time traffic incidence information to academia and the public in a low cost, efficient manner

Outcomes:

Output 1:

• National Scaling up of Philippine Green Transport ICT Program

Output 2:

• Development of Green Transport ICT Open-Source Tools
