The objective of eVACUATE is to dynamically capture situational awareness concerning crowds in specific mass gathering venues and enable its intelligent use in emergency management information systems. Using smart communication devices and spaces is critical for achieving rapid, timely guidance and safe evacuation of people out of dangerous areas.
The project carried out trials at Anoeta Stadium, Athens International Airport and Metro Bilbao, demonstrating the evacuation procedures and the innovative approach of the eVACUATE project. The evaGuide mobile app, developed by Telesto, assists passengers and visitors in the evacuation procedures at large facilities.
