According to the government of canada, in 2018 alone, motor vehicle collisions were the cause of 152,847 injuries, 1,743 of which were fatal. DriveSafe is a database-reliant platform that acts to promote road safety, in hopes of lowering this number in the coming years.

DriveSafe supports an interactive map, similar to Google maps, with two main features:

1. DriveSafe calculates the "safest" route for drivers using open source collision information and live traffic data.
2. DriveSafe warns drivers when they are approaching dangerous intersections using text-to-speech.

DriveSafe leverages HERE.com's API for live traffic data and maps. Additionally, it uses:

1. An open source collision information dataset
2. A public traffic volume dataset

DriveSafe is an Android application with a Node.js backend connected to a MySQL database hosted on GCP.

The Android app requires proper license keys for the HERE.com Android API. See HERE.com for more information on how to set this up. This repository is originally cloned from the HERE.com turn-by-turn navigation example.

Unfortunately, the MySQL database for DriveSafe is no longer being hosted. The rest of the functionality will not work.
