Project: SafeGlow
Project Type: Advanced
Location: D15
Imagine a map that thinks before you walk! Our app uses ML-powered A* pathfinding to guide you on the safest walking route possible—not just the fastest. Each intersection is weighted by real-time + historical crime data, severity, and recency, ensuring you avoid risky areas. Live alerts dynamically re-route you as new data comes in—because safety isn’t static!
The app contains a map with ML weighted nodes at each walkable intersection. The ML model weights the node based on recent crime data, severance of crime, date of crime...etc. Users can select/search for a destination in the app. The implemented A* algorithm will run when user clicks "find safe path" button. The route will adjust according to real time alerts! which re-weights the surrounding nodes and forces a reroute calculation!
