Project Brief 1
1. Project Overview
In Nigeria, especially in the northern region, kidnapping and missing person cases are a growing
concern. Families often worry about their loved ones' safety, especially when they travel or move
between locations. This project challenges students to design a simple and user-friendly mobile
app that helps family members track each other's location in real time and receive alerts if a
member derails from their expected route.
The app should not be overloaded with features—instead, it should focus on the core
functionality of route tracking and emergency alerts to ensure ease of use and effectiveness.
2. Problem Statement
"Families in Nigeria, particularly in the northern region, face the growing challenge of
insecurity and kidnapping. Many people travel daily for work, school, or business, and their
loved ones often worry about their safety. There is a need for a simple, reliable solution that
allows family members to monitor each other’s location and get alerted if someone goes off their
expected route. This app will provide a sense of security and a quick way to respond in case of
emergencies."
To create a simple app that allows families to track each other's locations in real time.
