IlliniCrime.com Helping Students Stay Safe at UIUC via iPhone
As students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, we've been noticing a ton of Crime Alerts recently and so Blaine Fahey and I decided to put our computer science and analytics skills to use and help students better understand the crimes that are happening around UIUC and allowing students to take that information mobile via their iPhone/iPod Touch. Check out IlliniCrime.com
Right now we're in beta, but if any UIUC students/faculty have an iPhone and what to try out our app, give us suggestions, and write a review feel free to contact me.
Some of the things we're working on are:
1. All the recent crimes sorted by most recent on the iPhone
2. Advanced search between time ranges or locations on the website
3. Possibly a 'heat map' that shows all the crimes on a Google Map where the most recent is 'hotter' than older crimes.
Hopefully, people can find use of this app to take safe routes home or seek out public transportation. Stay safe UIUC.
