Children's School Road Traffic Safety Measures Project

 In the Yokohama City Medium-Term Plan and the Yokohama City Traffic Safety Measures Conference, we have set "zero children's traffic accident deaths on school roads" as a new goal. Since FY2023, we have been focusing on traffic safety measures for children's school roads in both hardware and software, utilizing big data such as traffic accident data and vehicle speed collected by ETC 2.0.

Traffic Safety Measures Using Data

 Utilizing big data such as traffic accident data held by the police, we visualize danger points on a map.

Children and Safety and Security Map

In addition to an overview of the locations and accidents involving elementary and junior high school students in the city, anti-crime program information such as voice call suspicious individual information can be checked on Google Maps (My Map function).

Characteristics of map
  • You can check the location and outline of the accident for elementary and junior high school students.
  • Click the icon on the map to display an overview of the traffic accident.
  • For calls and suspicious individual information, you can check the summary of occurrence over the past year by town name.
  • Created based on traffic accident data (5 years from 2019 to 2023) of Kanagawa Prefectural Police.
  • Created based on Peagar-kun Child Safety Email (2023) distributed by Kanagawa Prefectural Police. If you would like to receive Pegal-kun child safety email, please register from the Kanagawa Prefectural Police website.
Usage
  • It is divided into two categories: "elementary school accidents" and "junior high school accidents".
  • The display order of "Participant type" in the outline of the traffic accident is not the order of the severity of the negligence (first party and second parties).
  • By default, only traffic accident information is displayed.
  • It can be displayed by selecting "anti-crime program Information", "elementary school, junior high school commuting area", "ward boundary", etc.
  • anti-crime program information colors areas where one or more "calling out" and "suspicious individual" information is available.
  • The display order of "calling out" and "suspicious individual" information is displayed from the new date and time of occurrence.
  • The operation method of the map differs depending on your device and operating system.

Business Background

 In addition to Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture (May 2019) and Hachikai City, Chiba Prefecture (June 2021), Yokohama City has also caused painful accidents that cause children to be killed, and traffic safety measures for children have become a social problem.
 Based on this situation, Yokohama City has set a new goal of "zero children's traffic accident deaths on school roads" from 2023 at the Yokohama City Traffic Safety Measures Conference.
