SafeRoute Problem Statement

SafeRoute is a predictive safety intelligence platform designed to enhance women's urban mobility by providing preventive route intelligence, passive safety monitoring, and community-driven incident reporting. Key features include a safety heatmap for route suggestions, a passive check-in system that alerts contacts if users do not arrive as planned, and anonymous incident reporting to improve safety data. The proposed technology stack and MVP approach ensure that the solution can be developed efficiently while addressing critical safety concerns for women in urban environments.

SafeRoute — Predictive Safety Intelligence for

Women's Urban Mobility


Background
Women navigating cities alone—walking, taking public transport, or traveling at night—face three
disconnected problems: there is no reliable way to know whether a route is safe before starting a
trip, no passive safety mechanism if something goes wrong during travel, and limited visibility for
authorities into where incidents actually cluster. Existing solutions are mostly reactive (SOS
buttons) rather than preventive.

Objective
Build a platform that combines preventive route intelligence, passive safety monitoring, and
community-driven incident reporting into one unified safety system.

Core Features
1. Safety Heatmap & Route Suggestion
Users rate locations based on lighting, crowd density, and perceived safety. The backend
aggregates ratings and recommends the safer route between two options using weighted scoring.

2. Passive Check-in / Auto Alert


Users enter a destination and expected arrival time before starting a trip. If they fail to confirm
arrival, the system automatically notifies pre-configured emergency contacts with the user's last
known location.

3. Anonymous Incident Reporting


Users can quickly submit anonymous reports (location, time, incident type). These reports
continuously improve the safety heatmap and future route recommendations.

Suggested Tech Stack


Backend: Spring Boot REST APIs
Database: PostgreSQL with PostGIS (or latitude/longitude scoring)
Scheduler: Spring Scheduled Tasks
Frontend: React + Leaflet or Google Maps API
Notifications: Twilio SMS API (optional)

Why This Fits a 12-Hour MVP


Each feature is independently achievable using CRUD operations and simple business logic.
Together they create a complete, practical solution that demonstrates real-world impact and strong
system design.

Stretch Goals
• Fake call feature for emergency exits
• Time-of-day risk weighting
• ML-based anomaly detection for incident clusters
