GT Crime Map

This project aims to provide an easy-to-use web app with an interactive map containing crime data in and around Georgia Tech's campus.

How to Run (Local)

First, ensure that you have Node.js installed.

Second, you must have a Google Maps API Key. In client/src/config/, make a file called credentials.json. It should be of this format:

{
    "mapsApiKey": "YOUR-GOOGLE-MAPS-API-KEY-GOES-HERE",
    "firebaseConfig": {} // get this object from the Firebase console
}

NOTE: The firebaseConfig property must have the value equal to that given in the Firebase Console. To get the credentials object, go to the "Project Overview" page. Here, press "Add app" and select the web app option. An HTML script should appear. Copy the config object beneath // Initialize Firebase and put its value in your credentials.json under firebaseConfig.

To run the front-end application, open your terminal in the project's root directory and enter

cd client
npm start

Backend / Modeling

Code for modeling thefts with Point Processes or clustering is included in Point-Process-Crime-Map/. Note: this code is not finished and thus is not accurate or usable at this point.
