Regular real-life security tests are a critical part of ensuring safety. Organising and running the tests is also complex, time-consuming and disrupt of daily operations. That is before you consider the full range of fans visiting your venue each week – from mid-week youth matches, through to first team league matches and championship events. On top of this there are fans who might not visit for sport, but instead come to see a music concert. In any give week, crowds at a single venue can vary from being comprised of mainly families through to friendship groups both spanning multiple age ranges.
Whilst simulation tools can’t replace in person testing, they can provide an added depth of knowledge by assessing a wide range emergency scenarios thousands of times over.
Key benefits of integrating crowd simulations:
- Contextualise In Person Tests: Simulations allow you to see where physical drills fit within your overall safety strategy.
- Broaden Risk Insights: Simulations reveal a breadth of potential outcomes, not a single point.
You know that accurate risk assessment and proactive planning are key to keeping events safe. When done right, security is seamless and unnoticed. Bays Crowd provides a unified view on the impact of safety measure in place, supports rapid assessment of emergency scenarios and enables data driven decisions on the location of crowd safety measure and emergency responders.
Using simulations as part of a planning cycle enables all involved in crowd safety to assess the impact of physical safety measures, (such as barriers), so that optimal placement has been decided before in person testing. Simulations can also support rapid assessments of crowd movements in response to updated intelligence on potential threats which may seek to disrupt an event. Bays Crowd not only supports both assessments but also provides an overview on potential number of crowd injuries during an emergency event.
