Title: | Analysing the effectiveness of wearable wireless sensors in controlling crowd disasters | Authors: | Angela, Teo Yu Hui Viswanathan, Vaisagh Lees, Michael Cai, Wentong |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Computer science and engineering | Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Angela, T. Y. H., Viswanathan, V., Lees, M., & Cai, W. (2014). Analysing the Effectiveness of Wearable Wireless Sensors in Controlling Crowd Disasters. Procedia Computer Science, 29, 1590-1599. | Series/Report no.: | Procedia computer science | Abstract: | The Love Parade disaster in Duisberg, Germany lead to several deaths and injuries. Disasters like this occur due to the existence of high densities in a limited area. We propose a wearable electronic device that helps reduce such disasters by directing people and thus controlling the density of the crowd. We investigate the design and effectiveness of such a device through an agent based simulation using social force. We also investigate the effect of device failure and participants not paying attention in order to determine the critical number of devices and attentive participants required for the device to be effective. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/104758 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/20327 |
