Abstract
A safety device (SD) with wireless ability, and fixed and mobile, multispectral sensors in an urban region is used for improved protection of a pedestrian, who contacts it via a cellphone. SD tracks and records her and her interactions with others, who might also be tracked if the interactions are suspicious. SD offers her access to a Safety Kiosk (SK) as a shelter against a possible hostile person, where the SK is a multipurposed structure with some other primary use, like an Automated Teller Machine enclosure. SD can archive messages and calendar data associated with the pedestrian and germane to upcoming meetings with others.
