SafeRoute Shield

A mobile app that integrates with delivery route planning to alert drivers of known hazards like aggressive dogs, dark roads, or difficult terrain. It crowd-sources incident reports from drivers and provides real-time safety tips and emergency contact options. Unlike current apps, it prioritizes driver safety over speed and offers automated reporting to supervisors.
