Campus Trace

Geospatial Provenance

Essential technology for real-time incident archival. Eliminating systemic anonymity through forensic coordinate verification.

Peak Hour
Chaos.

VIT Vellore serves as a high-density node where thousands of actors navigate simultaneously. During rush hour, reporting a safety issue becomes a secondary priority to survival.

The Anonymity Gap

Legacy tools allow untraceable, anonymous reports with zero geospatial audit-trail. This leads to data noise and administrative paralysis.

01. Discovery Phase

Bridging the
Logical Gap.

Engineering a clinical record of campus state transitions, moving away from fragmented emergency calls and unauthenticated web forms.

Mobile Entry Flow
Mobile Ingress Stage

The "Place & Refine" Protocol.

Accidental mis-clicks are eliminated through a two-step ingress path. A user drops a pin, surgical dragging allows for meter-precision refinement, and a terminal-style modal anchors the report to reality.

Phase 04: Visual Contrast

Establishing a high-contrast 'Swiss Toon' map skin for instant legibility in high-glare environments.

The User HUD.

Priority: **Rapid Engagement**. A minimalist canvas with floating interaction cards. The high-contrast 'Global View' allows for instant geospatial orientation.

User Interface
Admin Dashboard

The Admin Command Center.

Priority: **Data Density**. A bifurcated HUD design that separates the spatial map from the forensic record feed. High-fidelity archival is ensured through real-time sync.

AI-Driven Synthesis

Thematic
Clusters.

Individual pins only tell half the story. I implemented **Thematic Analyst** logic using Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite to convert granular data node clusters into systemic insights.

The AI calculates mathematical centroids and dynamic radii, identifying share physical bottlenecks like "Vertical Accessibility Gaps" or "Temporal Congestion Nodes."
