- Explain the relationship between crowd density, movement and the space available.
- Recognize how ingress, circulation and egress can create different crowd risks.
- Describe the purpose of DIM-ICE, RAMP, crowd counting and risk mapping.
- Use course examples to identify questions that should inform event planning.
How you will study
Study online at your own pace through Keith Still’s learning platform. Work through lectures and supporting materials, then use the course discussion forums to ask topic questions.

What the course covers
Your learning, module by module.
Fourteen modules take you from the learning platform and core concepts through practical examples, review and assessment.
- Getting started
Navigate the online learning platform, lectures, resources and discussion areas.
- Crowd science foundations
Examine how incidents develop and how design, information and management influence crowd risk.
- Crowd dynamics
Distinguish static density from moving crowds; recognize shockwaves, collapse mechanisms and queue behavior.
- Crowd models
Represent movement on a site plan and examine connections between transport hubs and event egress.
- RAMP analysis
Consider routes, areas, movement over time and the people using a site, including the ingress profile.
- Crowd counting
Explore estimates based on area, density and flow, and the consequences of overestimating attendance.
- Control-room information
Understand attention, awareness and the role of clear reference graphics in operational monitoring.
- Queueing systems
Examine demand, processing rates, queue growth and layout during ingress and egress.
- Crowd risk analysis
Compare public and professional perceptions of risk and introduce congestion and risk mapping.
- Event egress
Use a guided case study to connect site dimensions, movement, risk assessment and communication.
- Strategic and tactical decisions
Explore decision-support matrices and how risk changes with location, time, density and flow.
- Emergency situations
Consider crowd communication, human behavior and the principles behind evacuation planning.
- Course review
Revisit the main methods and identify topics to review before assessment.
- Assessment and completion
Demonstrate your understanding in the provider’s online multiple-choice assessment.
