SafeRoute started as a simple question: if all this crime and fire data already exists, why is it so hard for students to actually use it to move smarter? This project is our attempt to turn static logs into something that feels alive, visual, and actually helpful when you’re deciding how to get home.
SafeRoute ingests campus incident logs and plots them on an interactive map that’s filterable by date, type of incident, and disposition. On top of that, it layers a routing demo that can compare different paths and highlight options that avoid nearby incidents.
It’s not a replacement for official safety resources or emergency services — it’s a visual tool to help you build better intuition about where incidents cluster and how your daily routes move through those patterns.
The goal isn’t to scare you with red dots — it’s to give you a clearer picture so decisions like “which way should I walk?” feel less random.
No cluttered dashboards. Just a map, clean filters, and routing options that feel familiar if you’ve ever used a maps app.
SafeRoute visualizes public reports only and doesn’t track individual users. The emphasis is on patterns, not people.
Start on the home page, tap Enter Map, and you’ll land on the campus map. From there, you can:
• Filter incidents by date range to see what’s been happening recently.
• Search by offense or location keyword.
• Set a start and end point to compare the fastest route vs. a route that avoids nearby incidents.
Everything is a prototype — the idea is to prove that students actually find this useful, then keep iterating.
