Crowd Steering

Crowd management is an unimaginable challenge to local administration and security officials.  This is especially critical during massive spiritual gatherings like the Kumbh Mela. We know that many people now carry mobile devices.  The location of these devices is logged automatically at every mobile tower along that person’s path.  We will collect and analyze this data to create detailed graphs showing the density of a crowd present at various places in and around Nashik. This will be shared with administrative and government officials to anticipate and abate any problems related to large crowds.
