Cloud and edge computing: 5G Edge Crowd Analytics is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that combines applications and devices, running on Verizon 5G and multi-access edge computing (MEC) with professional and support services.

Lidar technology: Employs light detection and ranging (lidar) technology and the facility/venue’s own dynamic digital signage throughout selected locations, as well as MEC-hosted applications using artificial intelligence and wireless services (wireless services are purchased separately).

5G Edge: Verizon 5G Edge utilizes a reliable 5G network with low latency that helps deliver performance for business. It also leverages the world’s leading cloud platform providers, including Amazon, to offer businesses additional expertise.

Crowd behavior: Creates near real-time insights to help understand visitor movement and occupancy patterns.

Crowd analytics: Provides helpful analytics and insights about crowd flow and crowd behavior using queue analytics, flow analytics, distance analytics and area dynamics. Together, these analytics provide queuing observations with expected wait times for designated areas, flow patterns of guest movements, density thresholds, heat maps and more.

Our crowd management technology can be used in a variety of venues, including airports, stadiums, retail locations, gaming establishments and more.

Preguntas frecuentes

Traffic flow analysis leverages sensors and cameras with integrated technology to provide visibility into crowd movement to help improve operational flow and safety.

Crowd management technology helps provide key insights about crowds and crowd behavior, such as queue length with expected wait times for designated areas (e.g., concession areas, bathrooms), guest flow patterns, density thresholds and heat maps. In addition to traffic flow analysis, crowd management technology may also use queue analytics, distance analytics and area dynamics.

Transportation services, including curbside transportation network companies (TNCs), can use crowd analytics to gain visibility into pickup and drop-off points for vehicle and pedestrian traffic to improve safety and security, as well as increase revenue opportunities.
