StreetSavvy is a mobile web-based mapping tool that aims to improve\u00a0the pedestrian experience by helping users make informed decisions about which route to walk.<\/p>\n

We created\u00a0StreetSavvy based on the premise that existing mapping tools do not have enough information relevant for pedestrians who are concerned about safety. With standard Google Maps, users request walking directions between two defined locations and they\u00a0are presented with a choice of three routes. But Google does not provide any\u00a0additional information to help users choose between\u00a0these routes aside from the time it takes to get from point A to point B.<\/p>\n

That may be enough information for some situations,\u00a0but as we learned through our research, what is defined as “safe” or “not safe”\u00a0is extremely specific to the individual, and changes frequently depending on situation. Unfamiliarity \u00a0with an area, the time of day, the weather, the location of certain businesses, how many people you are with….all of these factors may influence whether a particular situation feels safe or unsafe.<\/p>\n
