Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Crowd Control Rooms

 Crowd Control Rooms : Gaining Recognition after 7 years

 

 

 

Context :

Digital dashboard to mobilise, monitor crowds at Modi’s Vadodara meet-Business Journal  /  18 June 2022

 

Extract : 

As many as four lakh people are expected to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Gujarat Gaurav Abhiyan’ address in Vadodara on Saturday. What’s unique about the event is the way digital tools are being used to make mass mobilisation swift, effective and orderly.

State authorities are using an online dashboard for,

#   registration,

#   tracking,

#   monitoring 

#   mobilising

of visitors to the venue

On the dashboard, officers will key-in data such as,

#   event name,

#   visitors’ list,

#   taluka (tehsil) list,

#   vehicle allotments (private and State transport buses),

#   starting points, end points, etc.

The dashboard is monitored from a centrally-connected helpdesk control room set up at the Vadodara district collectorate, which flags any abnormal events to the concerned team of officers.

The dashboard, accessible through an authorised user ID and password, shows,

#   status of each of the numbered vehicles,

#   their location,

#   contacts of their respective drivers/conductors and

#   nodal officers.

control room will monitor the route of the vehicles, alert on any deviation and also ensure timely departure and arrival to prevent congestion and traffic chaos at the venue.

MY  TAKE :

 

Ø THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH …………………………….. [ 25 Aug 2018 ]

 

Extract :

 

      At each “ Arrival Point “ ( Railway Station / Bus Stands / Airport / Parking Plots for private vehicles ) , each arriving visitor to be welcomed with a RFID sensor embedded wrist-band ( with a beautiful rendering of Ganga Mata and bearing a description which reads :

 

 

“  नमो गंगे – Kumbh 2019 “

 

Before issuing the wrist band, pilgrim’s AADHAR NO will be entered into the sensor

 

It will be mandatory for the visitors to wear this Wrist Band as long as they are inside the “ PILGRIMAGE PERIMETER “

 

This will help the central PILGRIM TRAFFIC CONTROL ROOM , to track  :

 

      #   each and every visitor

      #   missing / lost persons

     #    mischief-mongers / miscreants

     #    accident victims / sick persons



For a fool proof solution for CROWD CONTROL, I urge Kumbh Mela Administation to consider :

 

 

#    Increasing the no of CCTV cameras from 1,000 to 10,000

 

#   Couple these with a FACE RECOGNITION software , such that those who attempt

      to “ WALK “ ( instead of riding ), inside the Pilgrimage Perimeter ( area covered by

      Methods A / B / C ,described earlier ) will find their face, name, and their Aadhar ID

      number displayed  on a large LED screen
