Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing device determines a plurality of probability-based trajectories a mobile device could traverse through a plurality of access point (AP) cells within a given area depending on an entry point of the mobile device into the given area. A predictive dwell time may also be associated to each AP cell based on how long a mobile device is expected to remain within the respective AP cell. Based on i) current locations of mobile devices, ii) the plurality of probability-based trajectories a mobile device could traverse through the plurality of AP cells, and iii) the predictive dwell time of each AP cell, the computing device can compute a probability of mobile device density surpassing a potential flash crowd threshold within each AP cell at any given future time. In response, the computing device may then perform one or more mitigation actions.
