Cover Story: A tool that allows respecting social distancing and providing emergency plans for crowds in smart cities was proposed. An IoT wireless sensor network consisting of sensor units containing several sensors, a microcontroller and a transceiver, and machine-learning-based and short path finding algorithms were designed for detecting crowds from camera and sensor data, for triggering overcrowding, environmental, and structural alarms, for closing overcrowded areas, and for providing emergency plans using a specifically designed web dashboard, messages, and NFC technology.
