Crowd management is an essential task to ensure the safety and smoothness of any events. Using the novel technologies including surveillance cameras, communication technics between security agents, the control of the crowd has become easier. However, the sue of these technics is still not perfectly effective. This paper presents an approach for managing the crowd at the entrance of event (festival, stadium...) using surveillance cameras. Using cameras and some panels in each entrance, the crowd density is extracted and illustrated in each panel. So, before reaching any gate, the people can see the available and the not crowded gate to reach the target. The proposed technique helps not just in smoothing the motion of the crowd but also minimize the crowdity and abnormal behaviors of the people.
