A Proposal for the Utilization of Sensors for Crowd Monitoring in Shopping Malls in Singapore - Draft 1
1. Introduction This proposal was prepared in response to the request for proposals on developing solutions for the engineering problem that is the usage of sensors for automated crowd monitoring in commercialized buildings in Singapore. It aims to provide building management with a focused overview of how such measures will bring benefits. According to Coolfire Core (2019), crowd monitoring refers to the ability to control, manage and monitor large groups of people to ensure the safety and efficiency of people in case of emergencies, such as fire, terrorist attacks, etc. Modern technology, engineering, and psychology work together in the implementation of automated crowd monitoring.
