Safe Route

Figma Design

Inspiration

I was riding my bike back home at night after my late college class. While I was returning through the fastest route home(cause i wanted to get home early), I actually got caught up in a police chase and had an accident. When I got home eventually and with minor injuries, I thought I would have chose another way back home if I knew about the chase. That made me think that the maps apps that we have focus more on faster route than a safer route.

What it does

This simply shows you the safest route available, although it could be a longer route, because our app focuses on safety rather than speed.

How we built it

I built it only as a design right now using Figma. This is a no-code solution.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges I ran into while building this were 2. First putting logic in the Google Maps API is really hard. I couldn't find a way to use the Google Maps API and give it constraints to chose another route instead of this one. Crimometer API and any other crime related APIs were not free so I had to wait for a week to get access and I did not have a week for it. So, instead of doing a code solution. I did this no code solution.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I registered to this hackathon really late, which is why I only had 2 days to make and submit. Because of this I was only able to design a no-code solution. Still, I am really proud that I was able to complete it in 2 days.

What we learned

I learned a lot about safety concerns people while travelling. I was able to play a little bit of Maps API and i hope next time I will be able to code the solution out.
