The "WHO South-East Asia Regional Status Report on <keyword id="20187029" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="road-safety" source="keywords">Road Safety</keyword>" was launched during "Safety 2024", the 15th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion, 2024. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, 30% of reported road traffic deaths involved users of powered two- and three-wheelers. Occupants of four-wheeled vehicles make up 25% of the deaths and pedestrians account for 21 %. Cyclists represent 5% of the deaths. The remaining 20% include occupants of large vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, and other or unknown user types. "In the WHO Southeast Asia Region, the share of reported road traffic deaths is 46% for users of powered two- and three-wheelers, 12 for occupants of four-wheeled vehicles, 17% for pedestrians, 3% for cyclists and 22% for others. In all these countries, vulnerable road users (pedestrians, motorised two-wheeler users and bicyclists) constitute 66% of the total reported road traffic deaths," the report said. "Drivers or riders of two and three-wheelers constitute the highest proportion among all road user categories in India (45.1%), Maldives (100 %), Myanmar (47%) and Thailand (51.4%)," it added. The WHO noted that no country in the South Asian region had achieved the target of reducing its estimated road traffic deaths by 50 %. However, considerable reduction in the WHO's estimated road traffic deaths occurred in the Maldives and Thailand, where estimated road traffic deaths decreased by 46.2% and 41.7 %, respectively. On the contrary, reported road traffic deaths in the region increased by 15 % in the 2010-2021 period. At the country level, no member state of the Southeast Asia Region with more than 10 million population has reported a decrease in road traffic deaths during this period. "However, it should be noted that the reported number of road traffic deaths in Thailand reduced by 22.9% between 2016 and 2021. The estimated road traffic deaths too increased in Bangladesh, India and Nepal during the period 2010-2021 by 23 %, 2% and 25%, respectively," the report said. Etienne Krug, director of the WHO's Department for Social Determinants of Health, said road traffic crashes were a major crisis of the 21st century. "...a large proportion of people who die in road crashes are those who cannot afford to buy a car. This is urgent time to take action. The report reveals that the crisis is huge but we need to understand and act with determination that prevention is possible and needs strict enforcement," he said. The three-day conference is being hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi; George Institute for Global Health in collaboration with the All India Institute for Medical Sciences (AIIMS), National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) and co-sponsored by WHO. "To reduce inequities, we must acknowledge that injuries disproportionately impact vulnerable communities -- because we are far behind in addressing real problems with real solutions. Lived experience shows how policy shapes differential exposure, risk, and outcomes, underscoring the urgent need for change," said Jagnoor Jagnoor, head of injury division at George Institute for Global Health. During the conference, the international experts are uniting with a shared goal of "building a safer future for all: Equitable and sustainable strategies for injury and violence prevention". The conference will focus on five key themes -- improving coordination and collaboration among stakeholders, strengthening capacity for research and practice, integrating injury prevention with global health agendas such as sustainability and equity, empowering communities, and promoting informed policymaking.

Pedestrians, cyclists, two-wheeler riders constitute 66% of road fatalities in Southeast Asia, says a WHO report

New Delhi, Feb 19 () Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday reaffirmed India's commitment to the United Nation's goal set under the UN Decade of Action of drastically reducing road accidents by 2030. Road Transport and Highways Minister Gadkari was addressing the '3rd High Level Global Conference on Road Safety for Achieving Global Goals 2030' in Stockholm in Sweden, an official release said. "India is collaborating with stakeholders and other agencies who are assisting us by way of strengthening the capabilities of various institutions, enhancing awareness and improving our engineering designs for safer roads," the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement quoting Gadkari. The government is fully committed to the safety of citizens, the minister said, adding that a large number of pedestrians, cyclists and motorised two-wheelers compete for space on roads, therefore, the road safety requirements of these vulnerable sections needs to be kept in mind while designing and developing transport strategies.The minister pointed out that India is the largest producer of two wheelers and amongst largest manufacturer of cars in the world. Road accidents constitute the most important public health concern in the country that saw over 1.51 lakh fatalities in about 5 lakh road accidents in 2018 alone. "Eleven per cent of deaths due to road accident of the world take place in India alone. When translated into economic terms, estimates suggest that this has adversely affected our GDP by as much as 2-3 per cent per annum. Road accidents not only have an economic impact, but also serious implications for those involved in such crashes and their immediate families who suffer severe physical and psychological trauma as a result," he said. Gadkari said India has been undertaking various publicity measures to improve road safety awareness among the general public. The minister said India has the second largest road network in the world and the government has launched an ambitious programme for development and upgradation of roads in the country, especially the National Highways network. He said his Ministry has been working in association with States, and vehicle manufactures for strengthening driving training. Gadkari said the Motor Vehicles Act, has been amended for the first time in a comprehensive way after thirty years. He said he is confident that the Act will lead to several reforms ranging from road safety, citizen facilitation, transparency, and efficiency through the use of Information Technology. India is looking towards automated systems solutions using technology and having least human interface in its current licensing and fitness certificate regime, he said. NAM MRMR

Making the announcement was the grandson of India’s most famous ‘bicycle-maker’ — Founder Chairman of the Hero Group Brijmohan Lall Munjal — Ujjwal Munjal. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="“We at Hero Electronix feel proud to have our products showcased at CES 2019, we intend on launching a series of AI Powered connected products that are designed and built grounds up in India for India and the world. Each of these intelligent consumer devices are unique, innovative and first of its kind in many aspects, best in class even on a global stage.”" auname="Ujjwal Munjal, Founder Director, Hero Electronix"></div>



 The company's first product, previewed at CES 2019, has been designed to be the ‘centerpiece’ of security, entertainment and automation needs of home. The press statement Hero Electronix says that the device will be powered by Amazon Alexa and run on Qualcomm’s Vision Intelligence 100 Platform. Ujjwal Munjal is not only the Founder Director at Hero Electronix but also the Executive Director of Rockman Industries — formerly known as Rockman Cycles. Under his leadership Hero Electronix entered the IoT space by acquiring Zenatix — a local IoT startup with clients like restaurant outlets, retail chains and banks. But, now Munjal is looking to directly to the consumer. Hero Electronix has already invested in building all of the ‘core’ technology required in-house — that’s hardware, cloud software, device software, and apps. Munjal also acquired MyBox Technology, the largest multi-operator manufacturer of digital set-boxes in India at the time. From bicycles to AI-powered technology Hero started out at a bicycle company in 1956 and didn’t even start manufacturing motorised two-wheelers until 22 years later. It only created the subsidiary of <keyword id="6357252" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hero-MotoCorp">Hero MotoCorp</keyword> in 2011. Hero Electronix was brought into being in 2015. It started out behind the scenes developing products like <keyword id="6451058" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Semiconductor">semiconductor</keyword>s under Tessolve Semiconductor Private Limited. Now the company is looking to shift its focus to user-facing technology like cameras, audio speakers and dash-cams. In 2016, Munjal acquired TES DST Holding Europe, a German electronics design services company when he said that a new division would be created — called Tessolve Embedded Systems (TES) — that would support the design and manufacture of products. The acquisition was aimed at combining their existing semiconductor technology with system design and embedded software, turning it into something that an average person can use right away — a consumer product. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="“The aim would be to offer the complete product development life cycle solution – from idea conceptualization to product development and manufacturing in ODM (original design manufacturer) model”" auname="Ujjwal Munjal"></div>


 Munjal also acquired Lynxemi Pte, a test facility in Singapore that runs trials for new products for consumers, in August 2017. Munjal told PTI, “These acquisitions are not of high value. They are more to do with enhancing our capability. These will help in Tessolve becoming a leader in end-to-end semiconductor engineering solutions provider,” hinting Hero Electronix is looking to go directly to the consumer. Hero Electronix products were one of the few ‘Made-in-India’ products on show at CES 2019. Their partnerships with global giants like Amazon and Qualcomm will also posture the company to expand global operations.
