hazards. In a futuristic scenario, if the SMS is deployed on
many monuments of a city and algorithms that are able to
extract more detailed information about the crowd (e.g., its
size and distance from the monitored structure) are provided, then crowd movements can be understood in real time.
As a result, the evacuation routes or the collection points
could be dynamically chosen by the municipalities that manage such events.
