Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the two Crowd Flow and Ingress Planner files?+
The package includes crowd-flow-and-ingress-planner.xlsx and the crowd-flow-and-ingress-brief.pdf for gate supervisors, security and command-centre teams.
Which operational fields are in the crowd-flow brief?+
It captures peak window, forecast arrivals, primary gate, active lanes, throughput and queue threshold, plus entry controls, accessible routes, fallback triggers and live queue observations.
When should gate controls be confirmed in the ingress planner?+
Confirm them before venue build and opening, then use the brief during live ingress to record gate conditions, lane issues, actions and ownership.
How does the ingress planner differ from a venue traffic plan?+
It focuses on attendee entry, gate lanes, queues and escalation; it is not a substitute for a venue traffic plan or professional crowd-safety and emergency planning.
