Crowds and Different Types of Event Management Solutions
Challenge
In recent years, fire regulations, emergency protocols, and occupancy limits have moved to the fore. After a health crisis that fundamentally altered how humans interact in crowds and public spaces, more event managers realize that manual occupancy assessment solutions—handheld counters, for example—cannot keep pace with evolving regulations.
With events big and small returning, planners globally need a solution that can:
Accurately and automatically track occupancy levels in real time
Inform designated individuals and the public about occupancy levels
Be easily calibrated to reflect changes in safety or health regulations
Establish a reporting protocol for liability management
Solution
Knowing that, in many cases, error-prone manual counting solutions are inadequate for large events that have the potential to become a major liability, event managers are pivoting to automated counters.
Event managers can integrate advanced data capture solutions with automated systems to inform event planners and premise managers about:
The number of people in a designated area, room or building
When customizable occupancy limits have been breached
Occupancy demographics such as male and female, child and adult
Historical visitor flows in certain areas and times
