H2020 EU funded project (Grant Number: 871754) – https://www.evaguide.euhttp://www.safepass-project.eu

EVAGUIDE “senses” the status of the venue, by collecting and processing all kinds of information gathered from physical sensors (e.g. fire/ smoke, luminosity), access control systems (turnstiles), visitor’s feedback (spectator app) and data from wifi presence analytics and Bluetooth beacons, used to define the number and location of visitors in the venue.

EVAGUIDE uses state-of-the art crowd simulation algorithm to calculate the evacuation time and to optimize the evacuation routes in real time based on the current situation in the venue, taking into consideration the sensor’s alerts, the steward’s feedback and the number/ location of visitors in the venue. 

In case of emergency, EVAGUIDE calculates the optimum evacuation route based on the venue status, updates the display of the active exit signs and guides visitors through the spectator app to the nearest, unobstructed and safe exit based on their location. Stewards accommodate evacuation, receiving also the updated evacuation plan.  

All data collected from sensing mechanisms, together with the results from the crowd simulation algorithm are displayed in the COP which provides a visual representation of the situation in real time using advanced 3D model of the venue. COP contributes to decision support, incident report and steward’s dispatch mechanism.
