ABSTRACT

In Chapter 5, we will introduce several modelling techniques for crowd and event risk analysis. These techniques have been developed over a decade of working on many different projects and teaching programmes, and have been applied to crowd and event safety around the world. They are neither theoretical nor academic constructs; they are tried and tested methods. We have applied these techniques to a wide range of events, from small crowds to vast gatherings, and have taught over 6000 delegates the associated principles and applications for use at their own events.
