A crowdsensing platform for mass surveillance

Nowadays festivals and city events attract huge number of visitors and unfortunately in large masses a minor panic could have incalculable consequences despite of the organizers' efforts to do everything for participants' safety. Therefore we have developed an integrated mass surveillance system based on crowdsensing data, where the system helps authorities and organizers in information gathering about the actual dynamics of the crowd. Based on real time and representative information, they are able to perform fast and targeted interventions.
