Description: Illini SafeMaps is your real-time safety companion. With Illini SafeMaps, you can navigate safely around the U of I campus by viewing the locations of past crimes, police stations, emergency phones, running buses, open businesses and streetlights. This app also enables you to be notified of the safety and health resources near you so you can stay safe and healthy at U of I. Lastly, students can access SafeWalks and SafeRides immediately through our app when they feel unsafe on campus.
We split this application into Frontend and Backend services. The backend is Flask server using python 3.7 and pipenv with MongoDB, a NoSQL database, as our choice of data store. The Frontend is built with React Native and Expo, which enables our app to run on any type of mobile device.
