2.Problem Statement
Traditional crime reporting systems in India lack real-time interactivity, accessibility, and public engagement, making
it difficult for citizens to report incidents efficiently. This leads to:
Delayed law enforcement response, reducing chances of immediate intervention.
Poor crime data visualization, preventing the public from identifying crime-prone areas.
Limited public trust, as false reports and missing case follow-ups discourage participation.
Inadequate mechanisms for women’s safety, with no real-time distress alerts or community-driven safety
networks to assist victims promptly.
3. Our Solution: SafyZone
SafyZone is an interactive, map-based crime reporting application that empowers citizens to report crimes in real-
time, view crime data on an interactive heat map, and receive real-time safety alerts. Our AI-driven approach
enhances crime prevention and community engagement.
Unique Features & Innovations
✅ Mesh Topology for Secure and Decentralized Reporting
Instant Emergency Alerts: Sends distress signals directly to nearby users without the internet, ensuring
rapid help.
Community-Driven Safety: Connects users in a mesh network for real-time support, alerting police & locals
instantly.
✅ AI-Powered Incident Analysis
AI assigns a Route Safety Score based on historical crime data, real-time reports, and law enforcement
updates.
Machine learning predicts high-risk areas and alerts users proactively.
✅ Crowdsourced Heat Maps
Users can report incidents which dynamically update a heat map.
Helps individuals avoid unsafe areas and navigate through safer routes.
✅ Automatic Police Alerts for High-Severity Reports
If an incident’s severity is too high (e.g., armed robbery, harassment), the system automatically escalates it to
law enforcement via email and SMS.
✅ Real-Time Notifications
Sends alerts to nearby users when a new crime report is filed.
Helps citizens stay informed about local crime trends.
✅ Community Support & Verification
Users can upvote/downvote reports for credibility.
Higher engagement ensures accurate crime reporting.
