Children's School Road Traffic Safety Measures Project

 In the Yokohama City Mid-Term Plan and the Yokohama City Traffic Safety Measures Conference, we set "zero traffic accident deaths of children on school roads" as a new goal. Since fiscal 2023, 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 at ETC 2.0.

Traffic safety measures utilizing data

 Utilize big data such as traffic accident data held by police, and visualize dangerous spots on a map.

Child, Safety and Security Map

In addition to the location and outline of accidents involving elementary and junior high school students in the city, anti-crime program information such as suspicious individual information can also be found on Google Maps (My Map function). Please refer to the operation demo video for the functions and operation methods of the map.

Characteristics of the map
  • You can check the location of traffic accidents for elementary and junior high school students and the outline of the accident.
  • Click the icon on the map to display an overview of the traffic accident.
  • For voice and suspicious individual information, you can check the summary of outbreaks over the past year by street name.
  • Created based on traffic accident data from Kanagawa Prefectural Police (five years from 2019 to 2023).
  • Created based on Pigal-kun Children's Safety Email (2023) distributed by Kanagawa Prefectural Police. If you would like to receive Pegal-kun Children's Safety Email, please register from the Kanagawa Prefectural Police website.
Usage
  • It is divided into two categories: "elementary school-related accidents" and "junior high school-related accidents".
  • The order of display of "Participation type" in the outline of the traffic accident is not the order of negligence weight (first party / second party).
  • By default, only traffic accident information is displayed.
  • It can be displayed by selecting "anti-crime program Information", "Elementary School / Junior High School School Area", "District Border", etc.
  • anti-crime program Information colors areas where more than onesuspicious individual information is available.
  • In the order in which "calling out" and "suspicious individual" information is displayed, the date and time of occurrence is changed.
  • The operation method of the map depends on your device and OS.

Business Background

 In addition to Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture (May 2019) and Yachimata City, Chiba Prefecture (June 2021), there have also been painful accidents involving the sacrifice of children, and traffic safety measures for children have become a social problem.
 Based on this situation, Yokohama City has set a new goal for traffic safety at the Yokohama City Traffic Safety Measures Council from 2023 to zero traffic accident deaths from children on school roads.
