Intelligent safety management system for crowds using sensors

Abstract

Crowd management is an important research area due to its impact on significant numbers of people in society. It has been studied from different perspectives including movement, tracking, monitoring, identification, and behaviour. However, this topic still suffers from limitations that require further developments. Safety concerns are a vital part of crowd management that necessitates more investigation. The proposed paper presents a safety management system for crowds using sensors to improve the safety level and to reduce dangerous situations. The proposed system handles external environmental safety issues and internal body safety effects. The system manages safety factors and evaluates situations as individuals' behaviours and group behaviour in the same location in order to identify hazards and avoid disaster in crowds.
