Streamlining Smart Cities to Create Safer Spaces

Abstract

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been growing concerns over the safety of various highly populated areas such as universities, stores, and gyms. For this project, our team created an app using the react native framework in order to help people understand which areas are safe to occupy. The app uses environmental sensors attached to a Raspberry Pi to gather data in various locations to determine whether the area is safe or not. With the app, the goal is to create a streamlined way to relay information to the general public that could aid in the wellbeing of citizens during this pandemic and any future ones.
