NIRBHAY — Autonomous Travel Safety & Emergency Alert System

NIRBHAY is an autonomous safety system designed to protect users during travel by detecting potential danger situations without relying on manual SOS actions.

The system continuously monitors movement and location signals, intelligently switching between GPS and cellular-based positioning when GPS is unreliable. On detecting abnormal behavior or panic conditions, it automatically triggers emergency alerts and sends a real-time location link via SMS to trusted contacts, ensuring help can be reached even in low-connectivity scenarios.

NIRBHAY prioritizes reliability over assumptions, focusing on real-world failure cases such as GPS loss, poor internet, and user incapacity, making it suitable for personal safety, campus security, and urban mobility use cases.
