Bays Consulting / Createc

Our product, CrowdGuardian, is a collaboration led by Bays Consulting with partners Createc which directly addresses the ‘Enhancing safety for passengers and staff’ goal of TFW’s Operational Excellence Challenge statement.

CrowdGuardian is a novel solution leveraging real-time sensing and AI modelling technologies to identify suspicious behaviours related to Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), deployable across the public transport system, to enable the disruption of crime and more rapid and effective interventions by police or other authorities.

CrowdGuardian combines background IP from two innovative technologies which have already been developed for, and tested and proven in, the policing, security and transport spaces. Based on a deep understanding of antisocial and predatory behaviours drawn from academic research and specialist policing experience, it uses novel algorithms to model, detect and alert for VAWG behaviours. Automated alerts are then sent to authorities, facilitating timely response and capturing evidence. To date, CrowdGuardian has been tested at proof-of-concept level, and the focus is now on developing a working prototype for use across the transport system, with live pilots in transport settings.
