KUMBH is the largest gathering of humanity on
the planet. The KUMBH is an ancient pilgrimage festival that
happens four times every twelve years at four different
locations in India. It attracts 10’s of millions over six to eight
weeks to take bathe in a sacred river. KUMBH covers a large
amount of area with huge crowd. In this type of crowd, pilgrim
may miss their relatives and friends which become more
complicated to find their location within the KUMBH. If
Pilgrims sometimes needs emergency services like medical
service then it requires some extra time to manually inform
about an emergency to the authority. Pilgrims are from
different regions of the country, so they require the proper
information and location of the temples, rivers, hotels, etc.
which are sometime unknown to them. Solution to these types
of problem can be achieved by using technical approach. We
are using passive RFID embedded wrist band to track the
pilgrim within the KUMBH. Keeping the track of each pilgrim
can be useful for locating the pilgrim. Pilgrim can inform
about the emergency immediately using the radio frequency
band available on his/her hand. Important places can be located
using the application in the smart-phone like android attached
with open source Map.

Crowd Management
The state of art technology like RFID, LBS: GPS and AGPS
and Web Services can be used in many ways to
implements the system for various problems day to day
life. The problem of managing and controlling the issues
of crowd is very typical task to perform. The crowd can
be form at various places where humans gather at large
quantity because of different causes.
