Real-time simulation of crowd mobile system first time, so that you do not have to worry about being hurt when you are high

In recent years, as the world’s population has risen sharply, stampede has emerged in an endless stream. Whether it was the large stampede on the Bund in early 2015 in the early part of the year or the southern part of France that occurred last week because residents had mistaken firecrackers for the sound of firecrackers, trampled on a stampede that led to 41 injuries, and trampled accidents caused by crowded people are not uncommon. Especially in the holidays, people's sufficiency is not alarmist.

Recently, Japan has developed a new technology that may help prevent such stampede.

This technology was developed by Mitsubishi Electric, a subsidiary of Japan’s Mitsubishi Group, and the University of Tokyo’s Advanced Science and Technology Research Center (RCAST), a real-time system that can simulate the movement of people. The system can accurately and real-timely calculate the flow of people according to the information provided by the surveillance cameras installed in the vicinity of the event venues and venues, thereby avoiding the occurrence of stampede events.

The system comprehensively analyzes the data feedback from surveillance cameras to provide organizers with a crowding index and real-time forecasts.

At the same time, the high-speed human behavior model established by the Advanced Science and Technology Research Center of the University of Tokyo can simulate the walking trajectory of the crowd to determine the degree of mutual influence between the crowd or independent individuals. By using these methods to forecast the flow of people, the relevant data such as “crowdness” can be obtained and then presented to the organizer or insurance company in a heat map way. This helps the security personnel to identify problems in a timely manner and take Emergency measures to prevent people from getting clogged.

Mitsubishi Electric stated that the system is the world’s first real-time mobile system for simulating human flow, with an accuracy of 80%. The system has been put into practice for the first time in the 38th fireworks festival held in Tokyo last weekend.
