Road Safety App (Pedestrians) – SafeGo

Safety is subjective. A dark alley is a shortcut to one walker and a barrier to another — on the same street, at the same time.
That single insight re-cut the project: from one map for everybody to a personal risk profile that each walker sets and the community keeps current.

Mainstream navigation apps typically prioritize the fastest walking routes, often overlooking potential hazards. Research from Australia indicates that many pedestrian accidents are caused by seemingly minor environmental factors—such as dim street lighting or uneven sidewalks—none of which are marked on standard maps.

APP Key features

MAP/Safe Route Planning

People have different standards for safety. These diverse safety needs form the starting point of SafeGo.
SafeGo has two core features. The first is personalized safety route planning. Users can set their safety preferences, and the system identifies relevant hazards to avoid risks they are concerned about during navigation.

Report and help

The second is a risk-sharing function. Pedestrians can report road hazards, share their travel experiences, and mark risky locations to alert other users.
The platform protects reporters’ privacy through anonymity and intermittent data refresh.

Personalization

In the future, SafeGo can integrate official open road and traffic data with user-submitted reports to deliver timely and reliable risk alerts.
SafeGo aims to build a safety community for pedestrians. It respects individual perceptions of safety and brings greater peace of mind to walking trips.
