RCB proposes AI-enabled cameras for crowd management at the Chinnaswamy Stadium

BENGALURU: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), in a formal communication to the Karnataka State Cricket Academy (KSCA), has proposed the installation of 300 to 350 AI-enabled cameras at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for crowd management, according to a release.

The advanced surveillance technology will empower the KSCA and law enforcement agencies to efficiently manage crowd movement, ensure disciplined queueing, monitor unauthorised access through real-time tracking of entries and exits, and significantly enhance overall fan safety, it said.

The solution leverages advanced analysis of video, audio and text data to accelerate investigations and enable faster, more accurate decision-making. Real-time AI video analytics capability enables early detection of incidents such as violence, unauthorised access and intrusion, facilitating swift and effective law-enforcement response.

The RCB has further committed to bearing the entire one-time cost of this initiative, estimated at approximately Rs 4.5 crore. RCB has partnered with Staqu, a technology company with a proven track record in enhancing public safety through automation and data-driven intelligence.
