Authors - Ramiro Ramirez, Yasmany Garcia-Ramirez, Jandry Jaramillo Abstract - This research explores the potential of mobile applications in improving road safety education and driver behavior. Road traffic crashes, particularly those involving vulnerable road users, continue to represent a significant global public health issue. Traditional road safety education methods often lack engagement and immediate feedback, limiting their effectiveness in promoting long-term behavioral change. This study introduces SafeJourney, a mobile application developed to enhance road safety learning through real-time feedback, location-based alerts, and personalized progress tracking. The application integrates GPS technology and mobile sensors to monitor driving, cycling, and pedestrian behavior, providing users with timely feedback to reinforce safe practices. The development of SafeJourney followed a modified SCRUM methodology, ensuring iterative and efficient progress. Key features include real-time alerts, integration with traffic law databases, and a user-friendly interface designed with Figma and React Native. Testing and validation confirmed the application's functionality, including low-latency tracking, device compatibility, and seamless integration with a cloud-based database. SafeJourney represents a promising innovation in road safety education, offering an interactive and scalable solution to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
