Software for simulating crowd flows

Wir entwickeln seit mehr als 10 Jahren crowd:it, unsere Software für die mikroskopische, agentenbasierte Simulation und Analyse von Personenströmen.

Sie basiert auf dem Optimal Steps Model und wird anhand neuester wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Durch den täglichen Einsatz in unseren eigenen Projekten fließen praktische Anforderungen direkt in die Software ein – für belastbare Simulationsergebnisse, die fundierte Planungsentscheidungen ermöglichen, Genehmigungsprozesse unterstützen und zu einem reibungslosen Betrieb im späteren Nutzungsszenario beitragen.

crowd:it – Software for modern planners

In the crowd:it shop, you can customize your license and tailor it precisely to the requirements of your projects. The scope and functional areas can be flexibly configured—from the number of agents to floors and user access. This gives you a tailor-made solution for your specific planning and simulation tasks without paying for unnecessary capacity.

Two calculation models 
in software:

Microscopic Simulations

In microscopic simulations, each person is represented with their individual path. This results in more accurate outcomes and allows for detailed studies on bottlenecks, congestion times, and evacuation processes.

Pros:

  • Precise modeling possible
  • Genauere Ergebnisse zu Räumungszeiten und Stauauswertungen
  • Abbilden und Überprüfen von Prozesssen möglich

Macroscopic Models

We have now introduced the first macroscopic calculation method into our microscopic simulation software crowd:it:​
Predtetschenski und Milinski

Macroscopic calculation methods enable quick estimations. Established manual calculations in fire protection can be easily implemented in crowd:it, and the results can be extracted.​

Pros:

  • Quick results
  • Rough estimations
  • No precise modeling of geometry required

Workflow

01

Prepare the floor plan
Laden Sie Ihren CAD-Grundriss direkt in crowd:it und legen Sie Quellen, Interaktionsbereiche und Ziele an.

02

Configure scenario
Specify agent types, the number of agents, starting positions and destinations. Define all relevant simulation parameters.

03

Start simulation
Starten Sie die Simulation und prüfen Sie die Personenströme. Testen und vergleichen Sie verschiedene Szenarien miteinander.

04

Analyze results
Analyze heat maps, evacuation patterns, flow rates and bottlenecks. Export charts and videos for your documentation.

Who is crowd:it designed for?

Fire Safety Engineer

Develop robust evacuation plans and demonstrate compliance with safety standards.

Event Planner

Plan safe and efficient visitor flow for concerts, trade shows and large-scale events.

Architects & Planner

Optimize building layouts early in the planning process based on simulated pedestrian traffic patterns.

Functions & Features

We are continuously improving crowd:it based on the latest findings from science and psychology. The following aspects characterize crowd:it in particular:
