Once an event concludes, users need a clear and organized way to review past incidents. To achieve this, we introduced the "All Alerts" section—a dedicated space where all SOS and crash events are listed. This ensures that users can quickly access and revisit any past event without navigating through multiple screens.


For premium users, we designed Crash Pro, an advanced analytics segment that provides detailed impact-related data. This includes in-depth insights like impact force, rotational acceleration, impact angle, speed comparison etc at the time of the event. The goal was to make post-event data not just informative but also engaging, offering riders a richer understanding of their safety history.
