Abstract
To date, numerous tracking technologies are being used in order to get insight in various situations where movements of objects are of major importance. Moving objects might be cars moving along the road network, animals running in the forest, people visiting mass events. Our research focuses on this last specific domain. Our aim is to build an integrated centralized system capable of acquiring, analyzing, and modeling the complex movement interactions occurring at mass-events in order to fully support the organizers in crowd management, security and possible evacuation. The integrated system will focus on two systems developed over the past years and successfully deployed at several mass events. The first system (BlueMAP) focuses on visitors, the second system (Terra 3D Incident Management Platform) focuses on the emergency services.
