Advanced Crowd Dynamics

Contact Dr. G. Keith Still (keith@crowddynamics.com) for course information and case study suggestions

Who Should Attend:  

For those who design for, plan or manage the movement of people in sport, entertainment, shopping, transport or similar environments. This event will benefit site or venue operational managers, stewarding and security organisations, police officers with crowd management responsibilities, architects of environments used by large numbers of people and local authority officers with licensing, planning, building control or leisure management responsibilities.

Aim:

To develop your understanding of crowd dynamics and crowd modelling techniques applied to your own case study material.

Objectives:

By the end of this event you will be able to:

• Explain the essentials of crowd modelling in terms of ingress, circulation and egress.

• Describe the principles of behavioural-based safety in places of public assembly.

• Create crowd dynamics models to analyse crowd dynamics based on spreadsheets and queuing models.

• Integrate models of behaviour and crowd dynamics to support a comprehensive approach to crowd safety planning and management.

Pre-Requisites:

You must complete the ‘Crowd Dynamics’ course prior to attending this event (or have equivalent practical experience). A basic understanding of MS Office/Excel spreadsheets is essential. You will be required to provide your own laptop with software installed, as well as information relating to your own crowd dynamics issues – such as plans, site maps and related data. This will allow the course to focus on your own current challenges and projects, and create solutions that can be applied back in the workplace.

 

The workshops include individual case studies and delegates are encouraged to bring along maps, plans, diagrams, risk analysis etc. to work through with the Course Directors.
