This tool could be used in the future in other large cities to help people avoid crowded areas. FMTNews FMTLifestyle Heatmap Helsinki Crowd
Helsinki has posted a map online showing the concentrations of people in real time.
To make this possible, the Finnish capital has installed numerous sensors in all locations, with a strong focus on the city center and the areas that are usually the most popular with tourists. The data is collected from the bluetooth signals of connected mobile devices, starting with smartphones. While internet users can access it at any time and thus discover what areas are the densest at the moment, it also provides the municipality with a particularly interesting source of data: in addition to the flow of population, these sensors also indicate the various movements of crowd as well as the average time spent in each area.
In the city’s view, this data should ultimately facilitate improved analysis of tourist behaviors, for example, knowing which monuments are the most visited, etc.
