Deliverable D3.3 is a demonstration of the analysis tools produced by WP3 – Macro-to-micro crowd analysis – as part of the CrowdDNA project. In this report we describe the components of the final demonstration, and how it was carried out.

This report describes a potential system for providing information to individuals within crowded places. The innovations worked on through the CrowdDNA project and the potential crowd management system described in D4.3 could be used for influencing crowd and individual behaviours. This could be to avoid overcrowding of a particular area, encourage crowds to spread out across the site, to direct crowds to avoid an incident or direct them during emergency.

This report focuses on the proposed design and requirements for an “information system for authorities”. The information referred to is about crowd data, and this can also be used as a crowd management system for the operation of crowded places. The intention is to consider the needs of practitioners in managing crowds and how they could leverage CrowdDNA and other technologies through a dashboard approach.

The overall objective of WP4 is to explore usage of the main technologies developed along the project CrowdDNA for crowd analysis, and based on which to develop management techniques that explore the best usage of this information”. This deliverable, D4.2, describes the development of modelling techniques and their uses for new crowd management solutions.
