The Mass Gathering Data Acquisition and Analysis project, MaGDAA for short, is a collaboration between the Flinders University Disaster Research Centre and The Serval Project at Flinders University in South Australia.
The focus of the project is on the development of an Android based platform that can be used to acquire and analyse data at a mass gathering event. For example at a music festival, Schoolies Week, or any other event where a crowd has gathered.
The purpose of the Survey Acquisition Management (SAM) software is designed to:
- Make it easy for the researcher to select a survey from a list
- Automatically launch the survey in the ODK Collect application
- Create a bundle of a finalised survey form and share on the mesh network
More information about the software is available in the MaGDAA wiki
