Crowd Safety Monitoring, Management & Control
SenseArea, what does it sense?
SenseArea is a service that helpes you to make the right decissions concerning crowd management:
- It shows the density and spread of the crowd
- It shows the direction in which the crowd is moving and can predict the density elsewhere as a result
- It helps you to tag and follow a group within the crowd
- It can signal you when the crowd exceeds a certain level or enters an certain area
And all of this using the GSM network as its ears and eyes
Application scenario
When organizing large events or when expecting a significant amount of people, knowing where the crowd is and where it is going is the first step in avoiding crowd crises
SenseArea functionality
- Show the density of people (heatmap)
- Show a common movement (arrows)
- Tag and trace a group (dots)
- and predict movement based on event specific context
How it works
- SenseArea monitors changes in GSM network usage. Each cell phone is identified by a unique (but anonymous!) identifier
- Sense Area uses generic or event specific context rules to show density and movement changes
- No cell phone registration required
Privacy
- SenseArea sees individual cell phones, but does not know the phone number or the owner
- Accuracy relies on the density of cell antennas in the area
Example (security)
- After the soccer match the supporters are tagged when they leave the stadium
- A small group leaves the crowd and heads towards the town centre
- Police / security can monitor their location and send them back to e.g. the railwaystation
Example (open air event)
- A large open air event expects approx. 7500 people
- The crowd monitor alarms for a continous growing crowd; at least 12.500
- Event organiser opens extra gates and informs police of the situation
Example (health risks)
Big crowds in parks or beaches with potential health hazard due to Covid-19
