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.

This was the most useful course I have done as it was very practical and hands-on and contained some precise methods for calculating crowd density etc. The trainers were both very professional and interesting speakers.

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 Event Safety course as preparation.
