We create
innovation.
Simulating crowd fllows realistically and reliably is only possible with a modern, validated model. To guarantee this, we are involved in research and committees and are constantly striving to bridge the gap between science and practice.
We are involved in various professional associations and committees from the very beginning. We are convinced that a new technology can only be successful, recognized and understood through an exchange between science, legislation and practice.
Our founder and managing director Dr. Angelika Kneidl is the first board member of the RiMEA association. RiMEA aims to update the guideline of the same name for the preparation of evacuation analyses by bringing together perspectives from research, practice and industry.
In the field of event safety, Angelika is working group leader in the FGSV working committee 1.9 on the topic of "Use of simulations in crowd planning and control"(AK 1.9.3).She is also involved in the committee for the further development of DIN 18009-2 evacuation simulation and crowd safety.
In addition to scientific work, it is also important to us to be close to the practical side of things. This is why Sophia Simon is involved in the crenet Association for Corporate Real Estate Management in German-speaking countries as Regional Director South.
We do,
what we love!
"During my doctorate on the simulation of pedestrian movements, the terrible accident at the 2010 Love Parade in Duisburg occurred. This was the impetus for me to share my research findings and make a valuable contribution to safety in public spaces.
This has to be done at various levels, which is why I am involved as the first chairwoman of RiMEA, as head of the working group on simulations for crowd planning and control at the FGSV and as a member of other committees. My aim is to ensure a bilateral exchange between practice and research."

We always keep you up to date with the latest developments in passenger flow simulations. Here you will find the most important topics:
Research
We conduct research in various areas, from BIM and multiscale models at major events to the mapping of mobile networks. You can find an overview of all our research projects here.
The EU Horizon project ACSAI aims to integrate new technologies in the field of artificial intelligence into crowd simulation. crowd:it, or crowd simulation, is being further developed by ACSAI to enable faster and more flexible responses to the complex requirements of planning large buildings and events.

The narrow alleyways and squares of Freiburg's old town centre are often a hive of activity. To ensure that major events can take place safely and undisturbed, safety aspects must be taken into account as early as the event planning stage. Should a high-risk situation arise, visitors must be quickly brought to safety and the danger brought under control. To this end, the emergency services of the security authorities must maintain a clear overview of the situation and make decisions quickly.
More informationThe objective of the ESCAPE PRO innovation project is to further develop the demonstrator developed in the ESCAPE research project in a user-oriented manner so that simulations can be integrated into police operational planning.

Important design decisions are made in the early stages of the design process. So far, however, the data basis for such descisions has been poor in this phase, which often leads the wrong decisions and higher costs. The BEYOND research projects has been launched to improve this decision-making basis: it aims to use new BIM-based solutions in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI) methods and people flow simulation.
ESCAPE aims to contribute to increasing security at large-scale events taking place in parallel. Macroscopic and microscopic simulation models are to be linked and compared with real data in order to enable comprehensive preparation for security authorities in such particularly challenging situations.
DISTANSIM aims to contribute to increasing safety in public spaces. Findings from current studies are being analyzed to determine how social distancing can be modeled in crowd simulations and incorporated into the simulator as a parameter. This will enable testing at train stations, for example, to determine how measures for implementing social distancing rules can be further improved.

Model and validation
How can you actually represent the movement of people in a program - in other words, how do you get from theory to implementation? And how do I know that the results are reliable?
Here you can read all about the theory behind people flow simulations, the model and validation.
