uCrowds

About uCrowds

uCrowds provides a crowd simulation solution which allows real time changes with superior performance. uCrowds is a spin-off from academic research from Utrecht University and maintains tight connections to academia, bringing the latest research directly into practice.

We offer a user-friendly desktop application, SimCrowds, which enables crowd managers, event organizers, and consultants to create and simulate interactive crowds. The simulation handles 100 000+ pedestrians in real-time in 2D and multi-layered 3D environments on a consumer PC. Users have created simulations for e.g. the Tour de France, Schiphol airport, SAIL Amsterdam and Formula 1.

Next, we help with projects were we integrate our engine into other software environments. * TerraCrowds is our versatile crowd simulation engine that has powered digital twins of large environments, such as the city of London and Las Vegas, featuring cloud-based solutions with 1 000 000+ real-time pedestrians. * We have added interactive crowd simulations in a multi-layered, synthetic airport, allowing architects to optimize performance, improve user experience and reduce costs under on various occupation situations. * Our software is applied in museums to interactively play with simulations and learn about its importance.
