BikeBetter play online

The BikeBetter app is a tool for bicyclists to reduce the risk of accidents on roads. This app uses existing accident data to show bikers where there are several bicycle accidents along their bike route. This is a way to increase safety among bicyclists. When the user enters the app for the first time, they have to accept the devices access to their location. If accepted then the user will see a marker displaying their current location. The app can also provide bicycle routes to different destinations. When users want to see a route, they have to provide their origin location and destination information.The app will use Google Map API to get bicycle directions and plot it in Google Maps. Along with the route to the destination, there will be markers displaying the different locations of bicycle accidents that have occurred in the past. This will help bicyclists plan a safer route for themselves when they are biking.

Currently the App serves crash data for Beaverton, Hillsboro and Portland in Oregon.

Soon: will be adding other city data!
