Computational modelling plays an important role in the design of the security plan.

Cantene drives crowd analyses to guarantee safety in big events held in public spaces, such as stadia, stations, malls, atria and skyscrapers, also in a pandemic context. The security plan is made of four main phases, in which Cantene operates through fluid dynamics simulations modelling in matter of crowd analysis during the design of the spaces, the definition of the procedures of entrance and exit in a normal and in an emergency context; through its predictive CFD models, Cantene also supports the training of the staff, the communication strategy and the monitoring of data collected during the events to improve performances.

Covid free : During the pandemic of COVID-19, Cantene updated its approach taking into account the measures of social distancing in confined areas. Through quantitative analysis, it’s possible to increase the confidence on crowd management policies both to guarantee safety and health and economical impact, particularly on retail. Cantene identified two objectives: to guarantee a crowd load that allows the respect of social distance and to define crowd management policies about pathways. The approach is to reconfigure spaces identifying unidirectional patterns for people in order to reduce the probability of mutual interferences, by establishing an access control, with temperature monitoring, temporary routes and managing queues. Cantene collaborated with Lund University to be supported in the rigorous definition of the problem and runs R&D activity.
