Smart sports planning
Event and city planners will also benefit from the digitization of sporting events, particularly in how sport solutions leverage smarter planning. This means that journeys to and from large live events will be smoother and more efficient in the future, as vehicle traffic, public transport provision and parking can be optimized using cloud technologies.
Based on the expected influx of visitors, event planners can assess the passenger density in the city and deliver fleets of buses or taxis based on demand and capacity in real time. This data-driven intelligence and responsiveness can also play a role in managing an emergency scenario, such as a traffic accident or medical incident response times.
At the sports venue itself, spectators and organizers enjoy improved health and safety, thanks to visual AI technology and prediction software. A planning innovation driven by covid-19 is the introduction of Alibaba event simulation services (ESS)
that allow remote event planners to plan the virtual layout for the positioning of equipment, facilities and cameras. “Now the planning team can stay at home, anywhere in the world, to design the design for a place overseas,” said Yuan.
Cloud computing technology brings all sports fans, live or virtually, to the sports they play. It improves the quality of athlete performance, raises the bar for the sport itself, and delivers immersive experiences that allow fans to participate in many new and different ways. For sports teams, associations and event planners, cloud services help them build their brand and audience and organize events in a transparent and secure manner. These factors are essential for recovering from 2020 and welcoming spectators to major sporting events.
