Keyword 1, Keyword 2, Keyword 3, Keyword 4, Keyword 5, Keyword 6
\section{Focus Areas}
Select one of the research topics. Examples:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Traffic Control and Road Management}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Dedicated Routes}: Specific roads and lanes are designated for pilgrim buses and emergency vehicles to ensure smooth flow and accessibility.
\item \textbf{Traffic Diversions}: Local authorities often implement diversions and alternate routes to manage congestion in high-traffic areas.
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{Public Transportation Systems}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Pilgrim Buses}: Large fleets of buses transport pilgrims between holy sites and accommodation areas, with schedules synchronized to accommodate the flow of pilgrims during peak times.
\item \textbf{Metro and Train Services}: In recent years, Saudi Arabia has expanded metro and train services to provide additional transportation options for pilgrims, reducing congestion on roads.
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Solutions}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Real-Time Updates}: Mobile apps and digital screens provide real-time updates on transportation schedules, crowd densities at various locations, and emergency notifications.
\item \textbf{GPS Tracking}: Pilgrims can track the location of transportation services, ensuring efficient use and management of resources.
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{Crowd Control Measures}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Physical Barriers}: Temporary barriers and fences are set up to guide pedestrian flows and prevent overcrowding at critical points such as entrances to holy sites.
\item \textbf{Crowd Monitoring}: Surveillance cameras and crowd monitoring systems help authorities identify congested areas and deploy resources accordingly.
\end{itemize}
\item \textbf{Emergency Response and Medical Facilities}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Medical Tents and Stations}: Temporary medical facilities are set up along pilgrimage routes and at holy sites to provide immediate medical assistance.
\item \textbf{Emergency Evacuation Plans}: Contingency plans are in place for rapid evacuation in case of emergencies or unforeseen events.
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
