Public Safety

Course Title: Crowd Dynamics

in association with Crowd Dynamics

Who Should Attend

Those who design for, plan or manage the movement of people in sport, entertainment, shopping, transport or similar environments. It will benefit site or venue operational managers, stewarding and security organisations, police officers with crowd management responsibilities, architects working in the complex and built environment and local authority officers with licensing, planning, building control or leisure management responsibilities.

Aim

To develop greater awareness of how individuals and crowds react and behave in the space available at places of public assembly, and to explore the application of modelling techniques and tools to enhance public safety.

Objectives

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

Apply guidance on the management of crowd flow and movement with regard to a range of places of public assembly.
Apply risk assessment techniques to the area of crowd management.
Recognise the potential benefits of using appropriate crowd simulation tools in designing, planning, and managing spaces where people gather.
Create models summarising crowd flow to help with planning and crowd management activities for access, ingress, circulation and egress.

Pre-Requisites

A basic understanding of the content and application of the various guidance documents relating public safety is assumed. This may be confirmed by attending the Introduction to Crowd and Public Safety Management course as preparation.

Progression

The course supports the rest of the Public Safety curriculum by examining this particular discipline in detail, at a level suitable for those with a reasonable degree of professional experience. Attendance on the Applied Crowd Dynamics Workshop will be a logical progression from this workshop.
