About Crowds
Developed by Prof. Dr G. Keith Still - one of the world's leading experts in crowd science - this course introduces the essential tools and methods for crowd safety and risk analysis in places of public assembly. Delivered in partnership with the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4), the course draws on over 30 years of research, consultancy, and real-world event experience across sports venues, festivals, and major public gatherings. What you'll learn: The causes and prevention of crowd-related disasters Crowd dynamics - density, flow, shockwaves, and collapse RAMP analysis for planning and managing crowds Crowd counting methods and control room integration Queueing systems, egress planning, and emergency response Risk mapping and strategic decision-support tools Course details: Fully online and self-paced - start anytime 60-day access from date of enrolment Assessment: 15 multiple-choice questions, 80% pass mark required Up to 3 attempts to pass Level 3 certificate awarded on successful completion

Large and complex sites require a greater depth of planning, and hence the modelling techniquesbecome more complex. We will explore two methods in this Unit. The first uses a spreadsheet analysis to form the basis of a time-controlled crowd management plan, and the second uses a crowd simulation. Both should produce the same result, and we will explore the similarities and differences of the two approaches for a wide range of complex spaces. InControl, like many commercially available crowd simulations, has a wide range of applications. In this unit we will explore the use of this crowd simulation tool for a range of environments and review the limitations, applicability, and reliability of the system's results. We shall also compare and contrast Myriad (spatial/network/agent) analysis with the InControl simulation and review the Crowd Science tools (DIM-ICE, RAMP Analysis, Risk/Congestion Mapping and Decision Support Analysis) in the context of planning, modelling, creating and then evaluating the inputs and outputs of the crowd simulation. Each environment (stadia, transport, streets, CBDs, Olympics, etc) has unique characteristics relating to planning and managing those spaces. We will review the crowd management planning process for each environment with specific reference to the use of models and simulations to understand where they can be used to help plan for places of public assembly.
