Planning the Security of Public Events with IMMS

One of the main problems in planning a public event is the lack of updated data. Over time, a site is subject to multiple changes (sidewalks, green areas, maintenance or remediation, etc.) and not always the maps, available for civil protection, represent real metric data.

One of the main problems in planning a public event is the lack of updated data. Over time, a site is subject to multiple changes (sidewalks, green areas, maintenance or remediation, etc.) and not always the maps, available for civil protection, represent real metric data. All these issues were met in the present use case, where a tensile structure was planned in the main square of Trento.

NEEDS AND GOALS

• Check for any differences between the existing cadastral maps and the current state of the square to detect the presence of new elements potentially obstructing the public security plans.
• Provide easy and effective analysis of places dedicated to events/fairs, starting from real and updated data.
•  

''I’ve been amazed by the speediness of HERON in providing us with real data of the location we chose for the event! Without the HERON real data, we would not have seen that this space was not suitable for the structures and the pool of people we had in mind.''

Stefano Farina | Safety Consultant and Trainer

Thanks to a quick walk with HERON  it was possible to generate an updated map of the square and proceed with the planning of the safest routes. It was possible to discover that the large trees (not marked in the old maps) were a serious obstacle to the management of the event. It was therefore decided to change locations, preventing a huge waste of money and work.
