🚀 Introduction
Managing large crowds in stadiums, events, or public venues is a major challenge. People often face long queues, overcrowded exits, and confusion while navigating.
What if we could use AI and real-time data to guide people efficiently?
To solve this, I built FlowOps – an AI-powered Crowd Flow Management System during the Hack2Skill Virtual Experience.
💡 Problem Statement
In large venues:
- People don’t know which route is less crowded
- Long waiting times at exits and facilities
- Lack of real-time coordination
This leads to:
- Poor user experience
- Safety risks in high-density areas
🧠 Solution: FlowOps
FlowOps provides:
- Real-time crowd monitoring
- AI-based predictions for congestion
- Smart navigation suggestions
It helps both:
- Admins → monitor and manage crowd
- Attendees → find the fastest routes
🏗 Architecture Overview
🔹 Frontend
- Built using React (Vite)
- Clean UI with real-time updates
- Separate dashboards for Admin and Attendee
🔹 Backend
- Built using Node.js (Express)
- Serves the frontend and handles routing
🔹 AI Layer (Simulated)
- LSTM-based prediction (simulated data)
- Predicts crowd density trends
🔹 Cloud Deployment
- Deployed on Google Cloud Run
- Fully serverless and scalable
⚙️ Key Features
- 📊 Live crowd density dashboard
- 🔮 AI-based congestion prediction
- 🧭 Smart route recommendations
- 👥 Dual interface (Admin & Attendee)
🛠 Tech Stack
- Frontend: React, Vite
- Backend: Node.js, Express
- Cloud: Google Cloud Run
- Visualization: Recharts
🚧 Challenges Faced
During development, I faced several challenges:
- Fixing deployment errors on Cloud Run
- Handling server routing issues
- Managing build process (Vite + Node integration)
These challenges helped me deeply understand:
- Cloud deployment workflows
- Debugging real-world issues
- Full-stack integration
📈 What I Learned
- Building scalable web applications
- Deploying apps on cloud platforms
- Understanding real-time system design
- Importance of clean UI/UX
