Educate to Secure in Berkane: The Innovations of the Digital Pathways Association in Road Safety Awareness

Road safety awareness is of paramount importance in our modern society, where mobility is ubiquitous. Road safety rules are not merely imposed directives but fundamental principles aimed at safeguarding lives, preventing accidents, and promoting harmonious coexistence on our roads.

The activities organized by the Digital Pathways Association on the occasion of the National Road Safety Day reflect an innovative approach to addressing this vital issue. By integrating metaverse virtual reality technologies, the association has made learning road safety rules not only informative but also engaging. The use of a smart road circuit, programmed with robotics, offers a practical and fun experience, facilitating the understanding of concepts, especially for the younger audience.

The involvement of children in this initiative demonstrates the effectiveness of such interactive methods in instilling road safety habits from a young age. By understanding and applying the rules, children become responsible citizens on the road, thereby helping to reduce the risk of accidents.

The educational session in English on how to use the road is another important aspect of this initiative. It goes beyond merely imparting practical knowledge by emphasizing the importance of openness to cultures and living languages. By promoting this openness, the association helps shape a future generation endowed with values of respect, tolerance, and mutual understanding, essential qualities for fostering responsible and safe driving.

In summary, these road safety awareness efforts are not just about enforcing rules but also about forming conscious and responsible individuals, ready to play an active role in creating a safe and harmonious road environment.

Participation of Mr. Mohamed Ali Habouha: An Insight into the Sustainable and Inclusive Governance Model at the Sustainable Mobility Forum in Rabat

The city of Rabat recently hosted the “Sustainable Mobility Forum Meeting,” an event organized by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics on Wednesday, January 31.

This initiative emerged in response to the growing environmental challenges posed by greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector in Morocco. Alarming figures reveal emissions of about 35 million tons of CO2, doubling the 2015 figures according to ITF2019. The transport sector accounts for 28% of greenhouse gas emissions, ranking second after the energy sector, which contributes 40%.

The forum was structured around several panels focusing on the vision of sustainable and inclusive mobility for Morocco, the transition to a sustainable and inclusive mode of mobility, corporate responsibility in this area, and the role of technological innovation in supporting sustainable and inclusive mobility.

These panels covered various topics, including political leaders' vision for sustainable mobility, specific objectives and deployment mechanisms, social and technological innovations, ongoing infrastructure projects to promote sustainable mobility, and the private sector's involvement in implementing the political vision.

The role of digital and AI in transport management, benefits for road safety, intelligent navigation solutions, practical applications, smart cities, and the sharing economy were the main themes discussed during the panels.

Berkane was represented at the forum, showcasing its experience and digital transformation journey. The Governor of the Province, Mohamed Ali Habouha, led a delegation that shared the strategic vision “BIGGEST” (Berkane Inclusive Good Governance and Eco Smart and Sustainable Territory). This vision has been realized over the past five years through projects such as inclusive mobility, smart traffic management, the installation of electric vehicle charging stations, and the Digital Twin, making Berkane a nationally and internationally recognized Smart City model.

Dr. Badr Ben Hichou, Director of Information Systems at Majal Berkane, participated as a panelist in the 3rd Panel on the role of technological innovation in sustainable and inclusive mobility. He shared concrete examples of fleet management projects, such as the household waste collection fleet and the urban and interurban transport fleet.

The forum also included a workshop on electric mobility, aimed at collectively raising awareness about the challenges and opportunities of this new era. Sessions such as “Inspire” and “Innov & Transform” highlighted stimulating experiences and perspectives for the future of sustainable mobility.
