Citizenguard: A Watchdog for Unsafe-Area Detection to Increase the Safety of Citizens

Abstract

Increasing numbers of crime cases over the years in Mumbai have caused concerns on the safety of citizens living in Mumbai City. There are some areas which can be called as a crime hotspot and the citizens can be roaming in such areas with no idea about how much danger they are in. To curb this problem there should be a solution feasible and accessible to each person. The proposed system may serve as a crime deterrent to increase security that enables the user to be notified in various ways and may transform their mobile devices into smart personal emergency phones. The proposed system gives valuable information on crime prone areas in a densely populated city. The proposed project can be summarized as a safety app for citizens of Mumbai, or tourists travelling from other states or countries. The project can assist these users by providing Risk alert notification, Nearby police stations, Nearby Hospitals, Emergency panic button and Emergency helpline contact numbers. With the help of these features it makes it easy for the citizens and tourists to be aware of any danger they might be in.
