End-to-end operational scenario
Orangead supplies the measurement and its quality state; choosing and executing any field action always rests with the venue operator.
- 18:45 PM — Stage A Pit density rises from 1.3 to 1.8 people/m² ahead of the headliner.
- 28:52 PM — Agreed operational threshold (70% of reference capacity) is flagged to the Orangead specialist at the security command post.
- 38:58 PM — West Footbridge loses network link: UI displays "Data unavailable — last reading 20:58" rather than a false zero.
- 49:05 PM — Operations opens the East relief lane; stabilization at 1.75 people/m² is logged for the post-event report.
Event log (simulated)
Field action logged: East lane opened by operator
Feed interrupted — last valid reading preserved (20:58)
Configured threshold reached: 1.80 p/m² (72% ref. cap.)
Methodological definitions
Unambiguous metric definitions
Concrete example: 60 people present inside a 100 m² observed usable area equal a physical density of 0.6 people/m². Against an agreed 120-person reference capacity, occupancy is 50%. These two figures are never conflated.
Passages
crossings / periodObserved crossings of a line or perimeter during a defined time window.
Key distinction: A passage is not necessarily a unique visitor (round trips are counted).
People present
people (instant or interval)Estimated number of people within an observed zone at a given moment or interval.
Key distinction: Instantaneous headcount does not equal cumulative daily attendance.
Physical density
people / m²People present divided by actually observed usable floor area (e.g., 60 people in 100 m² = 0.6 people/m²).
Key distinction: Physical density is expressed in people/m², never as a standalone percentage.
Occupancy rate
% of reference capacityPeople present divided by a reference capacity explicitly agreed with the client (e.g., 60 / 120 = 50%).
Key distinction: Reference capacity is an agreed operational benchmark, not a universal safety threshold.
Directional flow
passages / direction / windowObserved passages moving in a given direction over a defined duration.
Key distinction: Nearby zones are framed separately to prevent double counting.
Zone presence / screen exposure
seconds or minutes (method stated)Calculated duration within a defined area, or proof of play paired with surrounding zone foot traffic.
Key distinction: Playback, zone presence, aggregated attention and sales are four distinct measurements.
Review a complete sample report including Data Quality sign-off
Our 5-page sample report (clearly stamped "Sample — simulated data") shows the exact deliverable structure after an event: scope and zone map, unit definitions, density and passage curves, threshold timeline and a dedicated human Quality Control page (verified sensors, any outages and limits).
