Government officials are embracing the new tech, and have ordered telecom companies to share data with them. "We are getting (data on) how many people are in the vicinity of a particular tower for that company, and we are using that data to track crowds in the Nashik city as well as provide the administration with tips or analytics on how they can better plan according to that | ||

Using cellphone power data to estimate crowd sizes, the digital platform also gives officials information that helps them decide when to put up blockades or disperse crowds. "If the density of the crowd is increasing at some location, we will control the crowd using a hold-and-release method," district official Raghunath Gawade said. "We have created many holding areas." | ||

The digital platform, accessible by a free Android cellphone app, allows authorities and festival-goers in Nashik to collect, view and share data about festival food carts, traffic jams and the location of medical tents, giving users an up-to-date record of what's happening and where. The information is also available online at www.kumbha.org. Developers skipped making an iOS app for iPhones because there are at least 10 times as many Android users in India as those using the more expensive iPhone. | ||

One of the ideas that took shape was on controlling the spread of epidemics with the use of technology. “This led to creation of Epimetrics, an app which helps in tracking and predicting outbreaks to enable timely intervention. During the last few months, we have observed a high number of cases of malaria through the app in some areas, and most recently diarrhoea ,” Shinde said. How does the app work? Pharmacists at pop-up medical centers and hospitals make entries into mobile phones about symptoms of patients and the app collates real-time data that can indicate if an outbreak is to be expected and where. | ||

The crowd flow in any region can be seen by the authorities simply by visiting a website. For an on-field police officer placing barricades to limit the crowd flow, for instance, that information available on his mobile phone can prove invaluable. | ||

For architects and planners, the world’s largest gathering of pilgrims, held every four years, is not just a symbol of an eternally religious India but a logistical challenge, involving mindboggling numbers, and one that demands planning and foresight from those in charge of the administration. How does one make this temporary city livable? How does one stem its chaos? How does one map its ebb and flow of people? Fifteen-year-old Nilay Kulkarni’s answer was simple: it involved an electronic rubber mat which he proposed should be placed at the exits of the ongoing Nashik Kumbh to measure footfall. “We placed a footmat on one of the exits during Shahi Snan on August 29 — connected to a Bluetooth-enabled communication box — and counted 79,000 footsteps. On the second Shahi Snan, mats were placed on all the five exit points and we counted 5.21 lakh footsteps. The real-time data can be seen even on your mobile if you download the app through a link provided on the Kumbhathon website,” says the student from MS Kothari Academy in Nashik. He is the youngest member of a team of 150 innovators of Kumbhathon, a platform that seeks to find technological solutions to the challenge of making the Kumbh chaos-proof. Kulkarni, for instance believes that his device, Ashioto, can also be scaled up to predict a stampede and alert. The crowd flow in any region can be seen by the authorities simply by visiting a website. For an on-field police officer placing barricades to limit the crowd flow, for instance, that information available on his mobile phone can prove invaluable. |
