Turn Individual Safety Into Community Intelligence
SafeSignal combines autonomous hardware signals and crowdsourced reports to create a live safety heatmap. Report risks, detect patterns, and empower communities to respond -- even without Wi-Fi or a smartphone.
Live Visualization
Real-Time Safety Signals
Live device signals are plotted on the map and refreshed every 5 seconds. Tap a marker to view device status and AI analysis.
Core Capabilities
A New Approach to Community Safety
Hardware signals and human reports combine into a living safety map. AI finds the patterns that help communities act before incidents escalate.
Pico LTE Hardware Signal
A Raspberry Pi Pico LTE device with onboard GPS lets anyone trigger an emergency signal wherever cellular service exists -- no Wi-Fi or smartphone needed.
Live Safety Heatmap
Every signal and report feeds a dynamic heatmap that visualizes areas where people feel unsafe or where distress events are occurring in real time.
Crowdsourced Reports
Community members submit on-the-ground reports about poorly lit walkways, isolated areas, or incidents -- building a shared picture of local safety.
AI Pattern Analysis
Artificial intelligence analyzes patterns across reports and signals to generate insights on where intervention is most needed.
Hybrid Safety Network
Independent cellular devices and human reporters work together as a collaborative network, combining hardware reliability with community awareness.
Instant Alerts
Real-time notifications reach nearby community members, campus security, and city responders the moment a distress signal is triggered.
How It Works
From Signal to Safety in Seconds
Whether you carry a Pico device or use the community app, every contribution strengthens the network for everyone.
Signal or Report
Press the button on a SafeSignal Pico device, or submit a report through the community app. Both methods are anonymous and instantly geolocated.
Map Updates in Real Time
Each signal and report pins to the live heatmap. Density builds as more people contribute, highlighting areas that need attention.
AI Detects Patterns
Machine learning identifies clusters, recurring time-of-day risks, and emerging hotspots -- turning raw data into actionable safety insights.
Community Responds
Alerts reach nearby members, campus security, and city agencies. Resources are dispatched where they matter most, when they matter most.
Use Cases
Safety That Scales to Any Community
From college campuses to city blocks, SafeSignal adapts to wherever people gather and need to feel protected.
University Campuses
Students walking late at night can trigger a signal from a pocket device. Campus security sees clusters forming in real time and dispatches patrols where they are needed most.
- Anonymous reporting lowers barriers
- Integration with campus emergency systems
- AI identifies recurring hotspots by time of day
Cities & Municipalities
City agencies layer heatmap data over infrastructure planning. Poorly lit streets, underserved transit stops, and high-incident blocks become visible -- backed by real data.
- Open data dashboards for public accountability
- Cross-agency alert routing
- Supports Vision Zero and Safe Streets initiatives
Parks & Public Spaces
Trail heads, public parks, and event venues deploy Pico devices at entry points. Visitors gain a simple, always-available way to signal for help.
- Works without Wi-Fi or cell apps
- Solar-powered device options
- Seasonal pattern analysis for resource planning
