CROWD MANAGEMENT · THE LAST MILE

From the number on the screen to action on the ground

Fawz's crowd management module doesn't count crowds itself and doesn't compete with the official systems already in place. It takes their outputs — counts, alerts and group movement (tafweej) schedules — and turns them into minutes of early warning, an activated field response and a recorded decision you can go back to.

WHERE WE FIT

We complete what exists — we don't duplicate it

What we take in

  • Zone counts and densities from the responsible systems
  • Zone alerts
  • Approved tafweej schedules
  • Field team observations and manual entry

What we add

  • One fused occupancy per zone, with its uncertainty
  • Time left before each alert level
  • Field team activation with acknowledgement
  • A sealed decision log for every situation

What we never ask for

  • Raw camera video
  • Pilgrim identities or personal data
  • Replacing any existing official system
THE LAST MILE

The decision reaches the people who act on it — with proof it arrived

The right decision is worth nothing if it doesn't reach the group leader in time. Fawz carries it down the chain and records who received it and when.

THE TRIGGER LADDER

Three levels, an action for each

Each zone's limits are set by the operating authority. A level doesn't change on a single reading: the condition has to persist for a set time, so teams aren't worn down by false alarms.

Green

Routine monitoring. Occupancy and accumulation rate visible for every zone.

Amber

Field risk assessment, the zone's team is alerted, and the countdown to red starts.

Red

An emergency alert in Fawz ERMS, escalation along the chain of responsibility, a push to the field team and site commanders — and every decision sealed in the log.

CAPABILITIES

What the module does

Occupancy fusion

Several sources per zone fused into one figure, with its uncertainty, accumulation rate and minutes left before amber and red.

Dynamic risk assessment

Every crossing opens a field assessment and a decision recorded in a fingerprint-chained log that can't be edited without detection.

Season risk register

A risk register following the Jeddah Tool approach to mass-gathering risk assessment, with prevention and mitigation barriers for each hazard.

Tafweej adherence

Group movement compared against the approved schedule, showing delays and early starts before they turn into congestion.

Heat & health

Heat-stress index per site, status of nearby health facilities, and a case register.

On the field team's phone

A crowd tab in the Fawz app: zone status, the task, and a field observation with a photo.

Where it stands: Phase 1 runs on our demo platform with a simulator, file uploads, manual entry and field observations. Connection to official sources is done in coordination with, and under the authority of, the agencies that own them.
