Road safety in India: Challenges and opportunities (2009)Rohit Sharma
The present report was designed to analyze the traffic safety situation in India, and to identify countermeasures for areas in which the total harm caused by crashes can be substantially and readily reduced. The report focuses on two aspects of traffic safety in India: challenges and opportunities. The first part of the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current traffic safety situation in India. It is pointed out in this analysis that fatality rates have increased both on highways and in urban areas during the past few years. Theoretical models suggest that the number of fatalities in India is not likely to start to decline for many years to come unless new policies are implemented. Based on the present analysis, the following six areas are identified as having potential for substantially reducing fatalities in India: (1) pedestrians and other non-motorists in urban areas, (2) pedestrians, other non-motorists, and slow vehicles on highways, (3) motorcycles and small cars in urban areas, (4) over-involvement of trucks
and buses, (5) nighttime driving, and (6) wrong-way drivers on divided highways. The second part of the report outlines several promising countermeasures for each of these
six areas. The third part of the report presents a brief comparison of major traffic safety challenges in India and China.
Road traffic accidents in Ethiopia from 1990-1994 resulted in over 1,800 deaths annually. Pedestrians, particularly students, accounted for 53% of deaths. The main causes of accidents were drivers not respecting pedestrian priority, speeding, and unsafe vehicle operation. Various road safety programs and strategies have since been implemented, including strengthening driver training, enforcing traffic laws, and educating pedestrians and the public. The goal is to reduce Ethiopia's high fatality rate of 136 deaths per 10,000 vehicles to 54 by 2010 through continued collaborative efforts across organizations.

Costs and lives saving presentation by AIP FoundationLDPThailand
This document analyzes the potential costs savings and lives saved in Cambodia between 2014-2020 if a law requiring motorcycle passengers to wear helmets is passed and enforced. Researchers estimated that 561 lives could be saved and over 10,000 head injuries prevented, saving $98.6 million in total costs. Public support for the law was found to be very high. Based on the findings, recommendations were made to pass and enforce the law as soon as possible. Subsequently, Cambodia approved and began enforcing a new traffic law mandating helmets for all motorcycle passengers.
The document discusses collision avoidance systems (CAS) that aim to reduce accidents by alerting drivers of potential collisions using sensors and automatic braking. It describes how CAS works using cameras, radars and lasers to detect vehicles ahead and calculate braking distance needed to avoid collisions. The document outlines different types of CAS including forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control and those that automatically brake. It concludes that CAS can help reduce costly accidents by alerting drivers before problems occur.
Company mobility and road safety issues were discussed. Road accidents are a leading cause of workplace deaths, and speeding and fatigue are common factors. The UK police have strict guidelines to improve road safety, and a case study of Tesco showed that implementing training and telematics programs reduced accidents by drivers by 26% and traffic offenses by 60%, saving over £2 million. Legislation and guidance can help, but companies must prioritize managing road risk through clear policies and ensuring safe driver behavior.

(V3.0)
This document summarizes the key trends in vehicle safety standards and New Car Assessment Programs (NCAPs) worldwide. It discusses:
1) The origins of vehicle safety standards from the first international traffic convention in 1909 and how NCAPs now promote safer vehicles.
2) Global progress in vehicle safety but the need to extend minimum UN crash test standards to low and middle income countries where most road fatalities occur.
3) The role of NCAPs in creating demand for safer vehicles and encouraging manufacturers to exceed minimum safety standards.
4) Priority technologies like electronic stability control, autonomous emergency braking, and motorcycle ABS that can further reduce crashes when mandated or voluntarily adopted.
Government should take a middle road approach to automated vehicles by neither significantly leading nor lagging community choices. This involves a four-phase national process: 1) understanding community attitudes; 2) developing concurrent federal and state legislation; 3) reporting on AV use and infrastructure needs; and 4) continually assessing uptake and identifying opportunities. The role of government is to engage stakeholders, address safety and liability, and plan infrastructure while allowing industry and public preferences to guide automated vehicle adoption.
The document discusses vehicle safety standards and recommendations to improve road safety globally. It summarizes the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety's goal of reducing road fatalities by 50% by 2020 through five pillars, including building safer vehicles. It recommends applying minimum UN crash test standards and electronic stability control to all new cars by 2020 to help meet the Decade's targets. Universal implementation of UN vehicle safety standards could significantly reduce road deaths in a cost-effective manner and support sustainable development goals for safer mobility worldwide.
This document discusses the need for comprehensive road transport and safety legislation in India. It provides an overview of the current road transport sector challenges around road safety, infrastructure, and regulations.

It also discusses the community's waste water treatment through two STPs and potential reuse of treated water. Over time, the community implemented various reforms like metering, tariff revisions, banning private borewells, and incentivizing rainwater harvesting to reduce water usage.
This document discusses strategies for Hyderabad, India to transform into a global city through sustainable water management. It outlines three key points:
1. Hyderabad has potential to become a global city by balancing urban growth with green/blue environments, but sustainable water resource management is needed.
2. Concepts like circular economy and "sponge cities" that capture excess runoff can help minimize water risks, carbon footprint, and capture resources like methane from waste.
3. Suggestions for action include leveraging technology for digital water management, incentivizing innovations through public-private partnerships and financing, and building stakeholder engagement for quality of life goals.
The Hyderabad Golf Association faced a shortage of 2 million liters per day (MLD) of quality irrigation water. Additionally, the government mandated improving the quality of surface ponds near the golf course that were polluted with untreated sewage. The Natural Biological System was implemented as a case study to address both issues. It treats 3 MLD of sewage on-site without energy and produces tertiary quality water for irrigation, rejuvenating the ponds. Water quality tests showed significant reductions in parameters like COD, BOD, and fecal coliform after treatment. The system provides a green, aesthetic and cost-effective solution to water and wastewater challenges.
This document discusses five theories of urban water restoration: 1) Consider the full watershed, 2) Ensure water quality by managing the catchment area, 3) Find beneficial uses for all water, 4) Take a holistic planning approach that generates economic and social benefits, and 5) Aim for vibrant, living water bodies rather than sterile infrastructure. Case studies from India are presented for each theory. The document advocates comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement to successfully restore urban blue spaces.
This document provides context and proposes solutions for developing sustainable townships and campuses in the future. It discusses challenges around unsustainable urban development in India, including issues with transportation, water, energy, and sanitation infrastructure. Potential opportunities and solutions are presented at different scales from the household to neighborhood level. Short, medium, and long-term actions are suggested to accelerate clean energy adoption, sustainable water management, and improved mobility. The document aims to start a discussion around developing integrated roadmaps and policies to guide more sustainable development.
The document discusses water supply challenges facing Bengaluru, India. It notes that while basic water supply is available, the city faces key stresses including depletion of surface water sources, loss of tree cover impacting water availability, multiple drought years reducing reservoir levels, severe groundwater depletion, and reduction in open spaces and water bodies. Without action, the growing population will outpace existing water supply plans, risking a "Day Zero" water crisis.
This document summarizes a report on the pedestrianization project of the Historic Peninsula in Istanbul. It provides details on the project scope, implementation process, and economic impacts. The project pedestrianized over 295 streets between 2010-2013. It describes the costs and stakeholders involved for different sub-regions. Initially, local businesses worried that pedestrianization would negatively impact their revenues, but surveys later found that 49% of pedestrianized areas experienced increased retail turnover. The project improved the built environment and quality of life in the historic area.
The Green Corridor TOD project in Cali, Colombia aims to redevelop the abandoned railway line into a light rail transit system and densify the surrounding areas. The project would create 22 km of bike and pedestrian paths, improve intermodality, and generate new public spaces. Studies have assessed the feasibility of different transit technologies, developed a business model framework, and identified opportunities for land value capture. Funding from the NAMA Facility was secured to pilot priority interventions along the corridor in line with transit-oriented development and greenhouse gas mitigation principles. A recent study identified property tax, special assessments, and urban planning tools as potential land value capture instruments for the project under Colombian law.
This document discusses land value capture in Brazil, including air rights sales, CEPACs in São Paulo, and case studies of OUC Água Espraiada and Belo Horizonte. It notes that air rights can be sold based on basic floor area ratio (FAR) or additional FAR allowed. CEPACs in São Paulo were used to determine where and how to invest proceeds. The case studies achieved significant funds for infrastructure from LVC: OUC Água Espraiada generated $800 million and Belo Horizonte generated $115 million from LVC. The document concludes with lessons around clearly defining the purpose of LVC instruments and linking LVC goals to broader urban sustainability goals.
The document discusses Sistemas de Actuación por Cooperación (SAC) in Mexico City. SACs are planning tools that seek to coordinate public, private, and social sectors to implement strategic urban projects that benefit communities. SACs guide development to be sustainable, prosperous, participatory, and equitable. They promote investment and efficient land use to improve infrastructure, transport access, and territorial equity. The document outlines the process for establishing a SAC and how they operate through technical committees and agreements between stakeholders. It lists several SACs already established in Mexico City and their objectives to regenerate urban areas, generate social and economic equity, and improve quality of life through coordinated projects.
CDP works with partners and cities to collect environmental data in order to drive decision making and transition to a low-carbon economy. CDP manages cities' data and makes it available to various partners through data sharing and reporting platforms. This allows partners to work with and support cities using the shared data. CDP also provides tools like city analytics and reports to help cities improve data quality, reduce reporting burdens, and monitor their progress on climate goals.
The document discusses the Global Covenant of Mayors approach to climate action planning for cities. It provides information on the following key points in 3 sentences or less:
- The Global Covenant of Mayors has over 7,500 member cities from 120 countries representing over 680 million people committed to climate action.
- Cities that join the Global Covenant commit to completing an emissions inventory, setting an emissions reduction target, and creating a climate action plan to meet that target.
- The document provides guidance on conducting emissions inventories, setting targets, developing mitigation and adaptation plans, and examples of policies and projects cities have implemented through the Global Covenant of Mayors.
The document summarizes the goals and results of the GHG Platform India initiative. It aims to track India's GHG emissions, inform policymaking, and identify mitigation opportunities. Phase I estimated national emissions from 2007-2012. Phase II estimated national emissions from 2005-2013 and state-level emissions from 2005-2013. It found that India's emissions grew at 5.74% annually, with the energy sector as the largest contributor. Emissions intensity declined by around 12-14% from 2005-2013.
Shwetal Shah presented on key points of the Paris Agreement and India's Nationally Determined Contributions. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global temperature rise well below 2°C through country commitments to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy. India's NDCs include reducing emissions intensity by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030, achieving 40% electricity from non-fossil fuel sources, and creating a carbon sink of 2.5-3 billion tons through additional forestry and tree cover. The Climate Change Department of Gujarat coordinates policy and encourages green technology to build a sustainable, climate-resilient future for the state.
The document discusses barriers to adopting electric bus fleets globally and innovations that can help overcome these barriers. It notes that while electric buses have higher upfront costs, they are already cost competitive over the lifetime when maintenance is considered. Many cities around the world have started implementing electric buses through different models involving new stakeholders, procurement changes, technological advances, and public sector support. Overall the document argues that barriers exist but innovations are emerging that can help accelerate the transition to electric buses globally.
The document discusses key barriers to electric vehicle deployment in India and programs that Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) is undertaking to address these barriers. The major barriers include high upfront costs of electric vehicles compared to diesel, pricing risks due to evolving battery technologies, lack of long term financing for batteries, lack of credit for smaller electric vehicles, need for charging infrastructure development, and lack of institutional capacity. CPI's programs seek to address these through initiatives like battery service agreements, long term debt facilities for batteries, financing for auto rickshaws, pay-as-you-save models, and project preparation facilities to connect cities and investors.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
