BaSiGo: Safety of Large Scale Events – Crowd Flow Modeling of Ingress and Egress Scenarios

In order to evaluate the safety of large scale events the joint research project BaSiGo was launched in 2012. Within this project, a support tool is developed that supports the special requirements of the various stakeholders. This paper focuses on its basic structure. The support tool includes an interface for crowd flow models to describe evacuation as well as ingress or egress scenarios. The type of model is dependent on the kind of information required. Empirical data to estimate the flow capacities for typical ingress scenarios are provided.
