Create technology solutions to improve our neighbourhoods In 2016, 43 pedestrians were killed on the roads of Toronto, while distracted driving was a factor in 65 fatal accidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police, more than any other factor including speeding and alcohol. These are just a couple of issues affecting our local neighbourhoods that the Safer Neighbourhoods Hackathon will endeavour to solve. Hosted in partnership with Aviva Canada, Sidewalk Labs, The City of Toronto, and ThinkData Works, the Safer Neighbourhoods Hackathon will bring together 80 technology experts, industry professionals, and creative thinkers to develop solutions to challenges that face neighbourhoods today and in the future. Three winning teams will be awarded a total of $7,000 in prize money. Teams will develop a  technology solution to address one of the following challenges. Challenge 1: Pedestrian Safety Develop a technology-based solution that makes neighbourhoods more pedestrian-friendly by preventing pedestrian injuries/fatalities and increasing walkability. Background: According to the City of Toronto, 43 pedestrians were killed on the roads of Toronto in 2016 and between 2005 and 2016, there were 2,172 pedestrians killed or seriously injured in a collision with a motor vehicle. The City of Toronto as part of the international Vision Zero campaign has released a 5-year action plan aimed at reducing traffic-related deaths and injuries which includes a number of immediately actionable items. This report creates a strong platform on which to build new technology-based solutions. The future of neighbourhoods as envisioned by leaders like Sidewalk Labs prioritizes people-centred streets and integrates automated vehicles. New ideas and technology solutions are needed to support this vision and bring it to fruition. Challenge 2: House-to-house Communication Develop a technology-based solution that facilitates house-to-house communications to increase opportunities for resource-sharing, leverage personal knowledge and skills and generally increase citizen quality of life. Background: Sidewalk Toronto is due to become the first entirely connected neighbourhood on the planet, with houses at the heart of this ecosystem. Leveraging this connectivity to improve citizens’ lives will be key to successful neighbourhoods. Innovative ideas and technologies will be required to successfully raise citizens’ quality of life during the shift from traditional housing to connected communities. House-to-house communications is not only about borrowing a cup of sugar, but also acting as a first responder in times of need and sharing important knowledge/skills. Challenge 3: Distracted Driving Develop a technology-based solution to minimize injuries/fatalities caused by distracted driving. Background: Research from Aviva shows that 26% of all car crashes involve phone use; this represents one distracted driving accident every 30 minutes. Inattentive driving was a factor in 65 fatal accidents investigated by the Ontario Provincial Police in 2016 - more than any other factor including speed and alcohol. Autonomous vehicles will play a major role in the city of the future. However, a transition period will remain where drivers will have to interact with both autonomous and traditional vehicles. New technology solutions can ensure that distracted driving is properly mitigated during this transition period.
