Wars are an especially nasty type of crisis because there’s an enemy. That enemy will probably attempt to use your software for its own ends. In the case of your refugee heatmap idea, given that the Russians are already massacring civilians, that might look like a Russian artillery commander using it to deliberately target refugees. Alternately, they might target incoming buses to prevent the refugees from getting out of the Ukrainian military’s way and make the Ukrainians spend essential resources on feeding and protecting them.
This is an important consideration, like how could the software be misused? However, in this concept, artillery and targeting buses wouldn’t be an issue, because the entire concept takes place outside Ukraine. It’s specifically for getting people from Poland (or other close-by countries) to other, more distant, countries that have more capacity.
For this to be a problem, they’d have to shell Polish cities, and if they do, we have bigger problems.
