SMART Crowd Flow Solutions
Our Crowd Flow Solutions team provides circulation modelling consultancy service to architects, transport planners, airport planners, urban designers, fire engineers and security advisors. We use sophisticated commercial and in-house SMART Move modelling tools to deliver efficient people movement solutions.
We help the design team to identify potential problems in terms of space provision and its effects on comfort, safety and management. By forecasting activity patterns throughout the design, our consultants can optimise the provision of routes, entrances, exits and stairways to improve ease of circulation and mitigate against congestion risks - all of which enhance the experience of the visitors.
Our vast experience covers a diverse range of projects in education, cultural, sports, rail, aviations, retail, and urban sectors.
