| Abstract: | Events like concerts and sports matches attract large crowds that should be managed to keep the event itself and its inand outflow safe. Crowd management is specifically relevant for station environments as they often from an important bottleneck for crowd flow. Historic crowd disasters, like the stampede at the Love Parade music festival in 2010 in Duisburg, Germany, often can be attributed to wrong (crowd management) decisions [Helbing and Mukerji, 2012]. Therefore, it is beneficial for crowd managers to have a tool that can analyse the effect of certain types of crowd intervention measures so a substantiated decision can be made regarding what measure to take. This research investigated the development and usefulness of such a tool. |
