The event, held in the meeting room of the Higher Polytechnic School (EPS I), recognized proposals that combine technical training with prevention, inclusion, and sustainability in mobility and transport. The initiative, promoted by the Vectalia Mobility Chair, aims to foster research and development of applied solutions.
The first prize, endowed with 800 euros, was awarded to Ana Belén Pérez Espinosa for her project Aula Rider Pro. This proposal outlines a specialized training program in safe mobility and workplace road risk prevention for professionals using motorcycles in urban environments, such as delivery drivers or couriers. The project includes supervised driving practice and cognitive skills training to reduce workplace accidents.
The second prize, of 500 euros, recognized David Belda Silvestre for Mobility from Other Eyes. This work suggests adapting road safety education for primary school students with visual impairments in mainstream schools, using hearing, orientation canes, and tactile recognition to promote autonomy and inclusion.
The third prize, with 300 euros, went to Ricardo Gómez Gallego for his project The New Generation of Smart Parking for Sustainable Cities. This project presents the PARKME application, a collaborative system to check public parking availability, thereby reducing traffic from searching for spots and contributing to urban sustainability.
The awarded projects demonstrate Vocational Training's contribution to improving mobility from various perspectives: workplace accident prevention, universal accessibility, and the application of technology to urban management. The Vectalia Mobility Chair thus reinforces its commitment to young talent and the real needs of society.
