The aim of the project was to increase the safety of major events, in particular in public transport, by means of optimized networking of transport companies, emergency services, organizers and passengers.

Large-scale events require strategic planning and agreements between the parties involved in advance. This involves the coordination of measures and participants in planned situations as well as in exceptional situations (which can be caused by panic, riots or attacks). The central questions, which go through all the research areas of VeRSiert, are: How can security and safety be further improved at major events, especially in public transport? What information technology and organizational measures can be developed to further optimize the cooperation between the actors involved in the planning, implementation and follow-up of major events?
