Operationalising a Digital Twin Platform for Mass Event Security Preparedness and Incident Response Training

Obiettivo

Mass events across Europe, attracting millions of participants annually, are facing an unprecedented rise in complex security threats, including a 183% increase in crowd-related incidents since 2000, such as terrorism, crushes, and extreme weather disruptions intensified by climate change. These threats expose critical vulnerabilities in event preparedness and response, resulting in human losses, economic damages, and eroded public trust. Existing security planning remains largely static, fragmented, and reactive, lacking solutions that can model dynamic, complex scenarios and enable effective collaboration between public authorities and private venue operators.
SHIELD-UP responds to this urgent challenge by operationalizing an innovative digital twin platform combining site modelling, dynamic crowd and threat scenario simulation, including terrorism, social unrest, and weather hazards, reaching TRL 8 by project end through operational validation. Developed by a consortium of high-tech SMEs and end users, the platform facilitates evidence-based decision-making, joint preparedness exercises, and regulatory compliance to diverse mass events. End users validate the platform through acceptance testing and procurement-oriented pilots, ensuring operational readiness and real-world applicability. By delivering interactive scenario testing linked with training and planning, SHIELD-UP bridges the gap between innovation and practice, empowering practitioners with unprecedented preparedness and coordination capabilities.
The project emphasizes sustainability via SME-driven commercialization pathways, buyer-supplier cooperation, standardisation/interoperability, and IP/exploitation support, to accelerate market uptake. Aligned with emerging European legislation such as the Terrorism Protection of Premises Act, and validated through stakeholder engagement, SHIELD-UP sets a new benchmark for mass event security preparedness, protecting millions and reinforcing Europe’s security.
