In this personal project, I'm developing a variation of an A* algorithm. When computing the best route between two points, it takes in account real time crime data in order to suggest the fastest & safest route. The main reason behind why I'm working on this project is to practice what I have learned at my first year at uni, working with real world data and situations.

The project is structured in 3 + 1 sequential steps which define the general flow of the application.

The first step of the process is to get all the data is needed:

Using overpass API it gathers geospatial data from OpenStreetMap, which GPS routing is based on.

Via Web Scrapping with Selenium + BeautifulSoup crime data is retrieved from different sources (extendable):

• SpotCrime: https://spotcrime.com/
• CrimeMapping: https://www.crimemapping.com/
