Navigate smarter, walk safer. SafeWalk AI is a predictive navigation app that helps you choose routes balancing efficiency with personal safety. Built on Mapbox with custom city maps, SafeWalk uses spatial modeling to minimize exposure to higher-risk areas while keeping your walk practical and direct. Unlike standard navigation that only optimizes for distance or time, SafeWalk introduces risk-aware routing. It analyzes historical incident patterns and urban features to model relative safety across neighborhoods and time of day, offering routes that respond to real urban conditions. Each journey compares the fastest, recommended, and safest paths—showing exactly how much predicted risk you avoid by choosing an alternative. Available now in Boston, Chicago, and New York. SafeWalk AI combines modern machine learning with turn-by-turn navigation to create a new standard for pedestrian mobility—data-driven, context-aware, and designed for urban safety. SafeWalk provides route suggestions based on historical data and does not guarantee safety. See our Terms of Service for details. https://sites.google.com/view/safewalk-privacy-policy/tos
