Imagine trying to install security cameras or new rules in a busy city square; people often resist if they feel forced. This work finds the best ways to let citizens help design these security measures from the start. By treating the public as partners rather than just subjects, the security tools actually work better and people feel safer.
Security measures in public spaces often fail or face public resistance because they are imposed from the top down. This leads to low trust and decreased effectiveness of expensive security technology.
A Societal Development Plan (SDP), a compendium of good practices, a roadmap of actions, and a suite of benchmarking tools for industry.
If you are a surveillance provider dealing with public backlash against new sensors — this project developed a suite of tools and a Societal Development Plan that increases the acceptance and trust of security solutions in public spaces.
If you are an organizer dealing with crowd control at massive events — this project developed a compendium of good practices and a roadmap of actions to improve security behavior and perception through co-creation.
If you are a transport operator dealing with security threats in mobility hubs — this project developed benchmarking for industry and a summary of transferable security technologies to make public spaces safer.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the tools or the Societal Development Plan.
Yes, the project specifically aims to share results that have transferable and scalable potential at local, regional, national, and EU levels.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project intends to share a compendium of good practices and a roadmap.
The project provides policy recommendations on how to orient security solutions toward responsible innovation and social innovation.
The project period runs until 2026-11-30, with a final Security Perception Conference planned to launch a Memorandum of Understanding.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 60% of the 10 partners being industry entities, 5 of which are SMEs. This high industry ratio suggests the project is focused on practical, market-applicable tools rather than purely academic research, supported by a lean structure of 9 countries.
