The document describes a mobile safety application called Safewayz that uses crowdsourced location data and third-party integrations to provide real-time safety information and connect users to emergency services. Key features include allowing users to quickly report emergencies via voice, buttons, or in-app interactions, displaying safety data like incidents and routes on a live map, and implementing a system of "Safety Pins" to validate crowdsourced information. The application would be demonstrated at a hackathon using HyperTrack for location tracking across the system.

Safewayz
• Safewayz is a mobile safety application
with crowdsourced geolocation data and
supporting emergency services
• Our goal is to provide live data for safety
awareness and communication with
emergency services where needed
• Third party data integration
– Yelp
– Foursquare/Swarm
– Waze
– General Ad integration 2

Quick Action Emergency Services
• Users will have the ability to quickly report on an
emergency situation at their location
• This could be done in a number of ways or
possibly a combination of different methods
while allowing the user to set their preference for
each. Ideas on user actions:
– Voice Action Service - A background service could be run to listen to a specific phrase in
order to take action and report on the emergency.
– Intercept Physical Button - We could listen for a specific button press (such as volume
down) or a specific combination and take action to report on the emergency then.
– In App Interaction - An action could be triggered within the application (such as a button
press) if the user has the app open and ready to go. This could also be reversed with
something like keeping your finger on the button, if you lift it for a specified amount of time,
the app will take action to report on the emergency.
– Waypoint Check-in - The user could input a destination, after which, waypoints could be
generated. If the location is not tracked to those waypoints at specific time intervals, the app
would know to take action and report an emergency.

Quick Action Emergency Services
• Emergency data collected would include the
location, and any other relevant user data
• There are several potential options for how this
data is handled and processed:
– First Responder/Call Center - Data could be sent back to
an managed admin panel or some type of managed call
center. From there, the user can be checked on, or the
data forwarded to the appropriate emergency service.
– Auto Calling - With a valid database of emergency
contacts, the app could initiate a call to the nearest
emergency service.
– Nearby Users - Data can be sent to nearby users, either
as a means of asking for help, or notifying to stay clear of
the area. 4

Crowdsourced Safety and Travel
Information Map
• Available safety data is collected and displayed to the
user on a map
– Open source, city wide data regarding overall safety statistics can be
presented to the user in a type of heat map overlay.
– Users will be able to tag specific locations with safety related data. This
could be both negative or positive in nature, such as:
• Aggressive panhandler at location.
• Police officers actively patrolling location.
• Hazards that would impede travel.
• Emergency incidents reported from other users (mentioned above).
• Safe routes collected from other users:
• This would be an automatic aggregation of data and
presented to the user when no incidents are reported
– For example, within the last few hours 3 different users have travelled a
specific route or locations tracked in a specific area without reporting
any emergencies or negative safety concerns, so we can display this
area as a ‘green’ safe zone to other users 5

Hackathon Implementation
Safety Pins and Trust
• Pins are expected to be dynamic
• One user “thanks” another to establish trust in markers
• A user can mark a pin as expired
– If this is wrong, another user can remark it as active and debit
the trust in the user who incorrectly expired the pin

Hackathon Implementation
• Used HyperTrack for enterprise scale
user/action/place tracking
• Using HyperTrack actions, events, places,
users
– HyperTrack Map display in the app and Call
Center/Command Center UI prototype
• Using an enterprise scale NoSQL service
to integrate the app, HyperTrack, and
other service integration
• App sends emergency message and
show Safety Pins 7
