 Abstract:

The portable smart road is a mobile road that can be installed on roads that had crowd accidents in the past or roads with a high probability of crowd. The product is designed to predict the intended crowd based on sensors fixed at certain points along the road path. Once the sensor is activated, the Field Programmer Gate Array (FPGA) sends a signal to trigger motors to block the road from reverse movement and open emergency paths to evacuate pilgrims. At the same time, the FPGA sends a signal to a smart application (webpage and/or phone application to the organizers to take further actions). The apps which been installed previously in the organizer smartphones. The apps provide alarm, crowded area number, quick call, chat, and gate status.
