Evacuating a cruise ship is a critical task with a complex decision process. It calls for a quick and accurate evaluation of the evacuation time. In the event of a major incident on board, experience has shown that passengers are not always able to comprehend or apply the safety instructions conveyed by the crew.

The SafePASS project develops an innovative system to safely conduct passenger evacuation operations, using, among other things, the map-based software solution Crimson: all useful information is fed by sensors into the platform, which produces global and shared situational awareness, a.k.a. a Common Operational Picture. This COP allows for the real-time visualisation of the secure routes available, to notify crew members and passengers, hence reducing the evacuation time whilst improving people's safety.
