The logistic analyses in real time GIS to ensure safety of mass events
Abstract
People may be treated in GIS as objects of infrastructure or objects of nature. They may be described as static or time-varying, their variation can be analyzed in relation to the local situation. The problem of their analysis appears, among others, during mass events, where three phases exist: gathering of people, their static participation in the event and their dispersion at the end. From the three above mentioned phases – the dispersion of population is most important.
This phase of the population after the event is the subject of logistical considerations in the present study, using GIS tools. The initial task is to study the routes and designate a corridor for the stream of pedestrians. Four ways of the stream visualizing was proposed: a picture of a local stream, picture in relation to existing buildings in 2D and 3D and an integrated picture comprising the sequence of streets.
This study shows that GIS can play a useful role in ensuring safety and security.
