| Summary: | Crowd and evacuation management have been active areas of research and study in the recent past. Various
developments continue to take place in the process of efficient evacuation of crowds in mass gatherings. This
article is intended to provide a review of intelligent evacuation management systems covering the aspects
of crowd monitoring, crowd disaster prediction, evacuation modelling, and evacuation path guidelines. Soft
computing approaches play a vital role in the design and deployment of intelligent evacuation applications
pertaining to crowd control management. While the review deals with video and nonvideo based aspects of
crowd monitoring and crowd disaster prediction, evacuation techniques are reviewed via the theme of soft
computing, along with a brief review on the evacuation navigation path. We believe that this review will
assist researchers in developing reliable automated evacuation systems that will help in ensuring the safety
of the evacuees especially during emergency evacuation scenarios. |
