Trailly

Trailly was my thesis project. This diploma thesis aims to develop an application capable of recording, uploading and safe exploring hiking trails in Greece. It is important to note that the project’s primary focus lies on enhancing the safety aspects of an explorer’s hiking experience while also complementing already existing services responsible for updating them during their hiking journeys. The application is designed as a platform for users to receive safety updates, as well as, assistance in case of emergency during their hikes. It allows users to receive and send reports and alerts regarding unexpected events that may occur during their hike; such events may be fires, SOS signals, unexpected weather and trail issues. Additionally, the users will be able to access three-digit numbers of the agencies responsible for acting on such events and receive guidance and help. Moreover, they will be able to access safety tips and information provided from trustworthy guides on what actions to take in those situations. Furthermore, the application facilitates the creation of volunteer teams to assist fellow hikers in need when human intervention is possible. To conclude, crucial to note is that this application does not aim to replace existing services but rather to complement and enhance them, providing yet another way for people to reach out and enjoy hiking as safely as possible in the trails of Greece.
