ABOUT

Our core business is live crowd analytics. This means monitoring crowded places and automatically generating real-time insights into the crowd as it develops – how many people are present, how they are distributed, how they are moving, how they may move next – and whether anything strange is going on. The ability to understand the 'crowd as creature' in real-time sets Crowd Vision apart from other video analytics solutions. Beyond real-time situational awareness for operations staff, we also analyse crowd characteristics over extended periods of time to help the planners and managers of crowded locations adapt and improve.

Born out of years of academic research into crowding and crowd safety, the software was developed and tested in one of the world's most challenging crowd scenarios – the annual Hajj pilgrimage at Mecca. Over 5 years, Crowd Vision has been providing the Hajj operations teams with accurate crowd counting, live insights, and early warning of potential over-crowding. More recently the company has invested in adapting this technology for the city environment – for crowded train station, airports, busy streets and public places. Watch our video to find out more
