Team EX.IT

A crowd management solution to help get users out of a danger zone with ease

Livio Bolzon, Michael Nguyen, Kevin Mack, Ego Munkhbat, and Feargal Walsh

The Ex.it team created an application to efficiently disperse crowd and resource management for densely populated areas. Designed for first response teams, the mapping application shows the danger area and generates the quickest egress route, spreading the users across different roads to alleviate congestion. If the user has different needs, the map can route past resources – grocery stores, hospitals, etc.
