Building "SafeRoute": How AWS Services Power Crime-Aware Navigation Apps

This AWS Public Sector Blog post introduces "SafeRoute," a reference application that demonstrates how to build a crime-aware navigation system using AWS services. Unlike traditional navigation apps that prioritize speed, SafeRoute analyzes crime data to suggest safer alternative routes. The architecture utilizes Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon Location Service, and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with PostGIS to dynamically calculate risk zones based on crime severity and frequency. The app also features real-time safety alerting, generative AI-enhanced incident reporting via Amazon Bedrock, and emergency notifications using Amazon SNS and Amazon Connect.
