Tsinghua University Researchers Advance Knowledge in Risk Management (Review of analyses on crowd-gathering risk and its evaluation methods): Insurance – Risk Management

2023 MAR 07 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Fresh data on risk management are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Overcrowding and stampedes may occur in public places with the gathering of crowds.”

Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China; National Science Fund For Distinguished Young Scholars.

The news editors obtained a quote from the research from Tsinghua University: “To mitigate and prevent risk, the accident mechanism and methods for monitoring and evaluating crowd-gathering risk were investigated. Related studies are reviewed and summarized in this paper. The evolution process of crowd-gathering risk and precipitating factors were explained systematically. Risk monitoring methods are classified into three types according to the key technologies adopted. Articles exploring risk evaluation methods for crowd gathering are outlined, and the three main paradigms were formed.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Finally, the shortcomings and future research points are summarized to promote more in-depth and comprehensive studies on crowd-gathering risk, develop monitoring technologies, and build an integrated system of risk management.”
