About
The Project
This project delivers a safety audit app that empowers users to make informed mobility choices. By analyzing crowdsourced data on walkability, accessibility, and public space functionality, it generates safety scores and insights, creating safer, more navigable urban environments.
Process We Followed
At QSS, we streamline development into clear steps: identifying the problem, analyzing feasibility, implementing the solution, and delivering a responsive, user-focused app that meets client business goals while adding real value to users’ lives.
1. Problem Identification
Safety is a key concern, especially for women in low-traffic areas. The app aims to empower users to make safer choices, offering city-wide safety audits, real-time data, and actionable insights to navigate areas freely and confidently.
3. Solution Implementation
We conducted surveys, workshops, and competitor analysis to design a React Native app. Insights from women’s feedback guided features, while the discovery workshop aligned client needs with modern app capabilities and future scalability.
2. Feasibility Study
The app evaluates safety using parameters like lighting, transport access, and pedestrian paths. By analyzing physical infrastructure and social usage, it enables inclusive spaces, supports data-driven audits, and alerts users in unsafe areas.
4. Challenges Faced by QSS
Developing this app required city-wide audits, ML-based safety scoring, detailed mapping, public space reporting, dashboards, and dynamic safety ratings. Each challenge demanded creative solutions to meet business and user requirements effectively.
5. Final Outcome Achieved
The cross-platform React Native app provides safety scores, crowd-sourced insights, route navigation, and GIS-enabled data. Agile-driven development ensured a responsive, feature-rich solution that stands out in market versatility and usability.
Problem Identification
Safety has always been a matter of concern for everyone but it is indeed an important issue for women in our country. According to the reports, major crime incidents take place in the areas where there are less accessibility to transport and the meager public crowd. Therefore, we aimed at providing a one-stop solution to people where they can make decisions about the areas they prefer to visit and can move around freely, especially women.
- Custom safety check
- Process city-wide safety inspection
- Allow users to run a safety audit
- Collect and analyse data on several parameters
Feasibility Study
The primary objective to fulfil through this app is to make this world a safer place to live in for everyone. We focused on implementing the safety check solution which will be based on several parameters such as lightning, visibility, transport availability, walking path of an area etc. This application plays a vital role in creating inclusive spaces for a diverse set of people and making the use of several tools and services in order to collect data for a safety audit.
- Allow image upload to support safety analysis
- Collect project-specific data
- Assesses the physical infrastructure and social usage of area
- Mark the collected data based on safety parameters
- Users to receive a notification when in an unsafe place
Solution Implementation
To bring the idea to life, we followed a structured approach combining user insights, collaborative workshops, and technical planning. This allowed us to align the app’s features with real safety concerns while ensuring the solution was practical, scalable, and user-friendly.
User research
We surveyed some groups of women and tried to gain their opinion about the eventualities that make them feel unsafe about a particular place. We got to know that there are things like unavailability of public transport, a deserted area where there are hardly any people and much more are some of the elements we can implement in our solution.
Product discovery workshop
When you conduct a session with the client and make some discussion to provide thorough information about the solution before the beginning of the development cycle, this is commonly known as a Product Discovery Workshop (PDW). Many development companies also consider this as a pre-development stage of gathering and sharing relevant project information between the client and the project team.
Through this workshop, we understood the client's needs and expectations as they wanted us to build a react native app. Furthermore, we drove the client through the latest advancements and cutting-edge attributes in react native framework that can help them fulfil the diverse business requirements. At the end of the session, we finally compiled all the project requirements and readied ourselves to begin with the application development.
Competitor Analysis
In order to understand the business strategy of your competitors who are in the same business as you and have developed a similar application, carrying out a competitive analysis becomes vitally important. Therefore, we examined the industry in and out.
Challenges Faced by Team QSS
Each and every app is tailored distinctively based on business demands. A few of the aspects in a solution sometimes appear complicated that leads to adopting a different methodology. While developing this safety check app, we faced a few challenges which are mentioned below.
- Carry out a city-wide audit
- Initiate machine learning technology to mark safety parameters
- Detailed mapping of urban places
- Generate different public space improvement reports
- Build dashboards to measure changes
- Provide users with a safety rating of the area
Final Outcome
The team of experienced app developers built a react native cross-platform app by embracing all the latest modes of agile methodology. This innovative safety audit solution allows users to choose an area to visit based on the safety score. The features and benefits of the solution are what makes this highly versatile app stand out in the market.
- Responsive design with easy functionality
- Safety score and API's for portals and businesses
- Measuring safety through crowd-sourcing
- Provide route navigation to a nearest safe place
- Featured with Geo-tagged data
- Provide a GIS environment
