Crowd density analytics

Estimating crowd level, movement, and choke points from camera views.

What it means

Crowd density analytics reads a defined camera view for occupancy, flow, bottlenecks, and surge patterns. It should be tied to a response action, not just a count.

Why it matters

Crowd risk changes with delays, arrivals, weather, and event schedules. Static thresholds rarely describe the full situation.

Evaluation questions

Which choke point or route is in scope?

Does the alert route to staff who can change movement?

How are peak and normal periods compared?
