Inspiration

Students and daily commuters often travel without knowing which routes are safe, especially during late hours. We wanted to create a solution that helps people make safer travel decisions using technology and real-time information.

What it does

SafeRoute AI analyzes available route data and provides users with a safety score for different travel paths. The application suggests safer alternatives, displays nearby emergency services, and includes an SOS feature for emergencies.

How we built it

  • Frontend: React.js
  • Backend: Node.js & Express.js
  • Database: MongoDB
  • Maps Integration: Google Maps API
  • AI Analysis: OpenAI/Gemini API

Challenges we ran into

  • Collecting and processing location-based data.
  • Integrating map services with route analysis.
  • Generating meaningful safety scores.
  • Building a user-friendly interface within the hackathon timeline.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Developed a working prototype within limited time.
  • Successfully integrated maps and AI features.
  • Created an intuitive and responsive user interface.

What we learned

  • API integration and location services.
  • Real-time data processing.
  • Team collaboration under tight deadlines.
  • Rapid prototyping and problem-solving.

What's next for SafeRoute AI

  • Real-time crime and traffic data integration.
  • Mobile application release.
  • AI-powered predictive safety alerts.
  • Community reporting and verification features.
