SRF: More safety thanks to an app — crowd management at Züri Fäscht
SRF reports on app-based crowd management at Züri Fäscht 2019 and the ETH Zürich research from which antavi emerged.
SRF shows how, at Züri Fäscht 2019, a voluntary app-based data donation produces a live picture of visitor density — a method developed at the Wearable Computing Lab of ETH Zürich and operationalised by antavi.
Anonymised location data from participating festival visitors are aggregated into heatmaps that support police, medical services and organisers in directing the flow of people. This makes it possible to detect a threatening crowd density early, before it becomes critical.
