Bringing together 250 first responders, 600 volunteers as 'football fans' and many high-level stakeholders & media in a single exercise in the Pilsen football stadium. The pilot was simulating an attack against the football fans followed by the intervention of the first responders, while test using multiple innovative technologies ranging from video analytics to evacuation simulation and traffic modelling.

7. First responders
interest & feedback
Jiri Bouchal, Bilbao Workshop 7
Especially interested in
 Video analytics:
 tracking and re-identificaiton of a
person
 Knife and gun detection
 Luggage detection
 Unusual behaviour
 Person in unauthorised area
 Precise location of alerts in the 3D
model
 UAV
 Video streaming
 Automated tracking of person
 Nice to have: sound detection
“Useful tools, once finalised they
could bring added value to our
operations”

8. Lessons learned
for the city
 Assessment of the stadium CCTVs
location and quality
 Further experience with video
analytics tools (City’s LabCam)
 Learnings from technical
integration in the IT infrastructure
of the City and of the Police
 Usefulness of the building’s 3D
model for the first responders

9. Jiri Bouchal, Bilbao Workshop 9
Impact
 Best practices for
 upcoming Security Management Centre of the city
 security strategy of the city
 Engagement of stakeholders
 politicians and city managers -> new positive view on the security technologies
 First responders' management: police, fire brigade, emergency
 Reputation of Pilsen
 Impact towards other cities, national-level policy makers, politicians - > Pilsen as
