Current Situation
Marches, protests, rallies, concerts, fairs, and other large events present challenges to local governments in terms of crowd management, emergency response, and public safety as populations swell in a city area beyond typical capacity, straining resources. Oftentimes, wireless and phone networks become overloaded and so those means of communication (text, voice, mobile alerts) are limited.
Goals and Objectives
To provide a safe, secure, and convenient event experience.
Technology Deployed
Drones, video cameras, mobile response units, big data analytics, digital signage, and mobile apps
Use Case Summary
Intelligent event management uses technologies such as drones/UAVs, video analytics, and digital signage to assist event managers, volunteers, and first responders to take proactive and preventative action for crowd control, traffic management, public safety, and emergency response while providing event attendees information for a safer and most pleasant experience.
