SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT THROUGH SMART SOLUTIONS IN SPORTS FACILITIES
Keywords:
smart technologies, sports facilities, risk management, video analytics, digital twinsAbstract
This paper analyzes the application of smart technologies in risk prevention and safety management within modern sports facilities. Contemporary stadiums increasingly rely on video analytics, artificial intelligence, RFID/NFC systems, digital ticketing, digital twins, and agent-based simulations to monitor crowd behavior, improve access control, and support real-time operational decision-making. These technologies contribute to the prevention of incidents, optimization of crowd flow, and more effective evacuation planning. The study also highlights the legal, ethical, and cybersecurity challenges related to privacy protection, AI governance, and data security. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of smart safety systems depends on their integration into broader risk management strategies, institutional policies, and operational procedures. Smart technologies are therefore positioned as an important resource for improving safety, sustainability, and management efficiency in contemporary sports infrastructures.Downloads
