“…Mahmood et al suggested using an agent-based simulation framework to assess the crowd evacuation strategies during Hajj [261]. Felemban et al proposed a platform called CAEPM (Capacity Aware Evacuation Planning using Multimodal Transportation) which used multi-modal transportation to evacuate pilgrims in case pf disasters [262]. Train location and bus movements were tracked through GPS and used to build the platform.…”

Hajj and Umrah are Muslims' religious pilgrimages to Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Hajj is considered the largest annual gathering in the world. In Islam, each and every able-bodied adult is obligated to go for Hajj at least once in his/her lifetime. Hajj takes place between the 8 th and the 13 th day of Dhul Hijjah, which is the last month of the Islamic year while Umrah, the minor pilgrimage, could be done any time of the year. In Hajj, pilgrims, also known as Hajjis, travel around 15 km and pilgrims have the choice to do it by foot, bus or by train. The Hajj journey starts from Mina, which is considered the largest tent city in the world because it hosts more than 10,000 fire resistant tents, and includes various religious rituals. Around 3 million Muslims from more than 183 countries make Hajj every year and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is working on increasing this number. Since 1989, researchers in various ICT domains have tried leveraging their expertise in solving challenges and issues related to Hajj and Umrah. Although several papers have surveyed efforts using technology in Hajj and Umrah research, none of them was comprehensive. In this paper, I classified research efforts that used information and communication technologies for solving Hajj and Umrah challenges over the past 33 years based on their applications in 10 categories. I also identified more than 30 technologies used by researchers all over the world to address Hajj and Umrah issues and group research efforts based on these technologies for ease of access. Furthermore, open challenges were discussed and new technologies that could be used to address these challenges were proposed.

“…Felemban et al, [87] presented a Capacity Aware Multimodal Transportation platform that was designed to evacuate either pilgrims' crowd and/or public or private buses transporting them from Mashaer area in case of any disaster. During the Hajj 2018 event, the movement of 20,000 buses was tracked using trackers installed in buses.…”

“…For evacuation planning services using Multimodal transportation, bus monitoring, analysis, and visualization services in Hajj, Felemban et.al. in [87] migrated bus GPS data to a NoSQL database management system-Cassandra cluster-to increase efficiency and scalability, and used Presto to run effectively distributed SQL analytical queries on HDFS for big data aggregation services. For personal health and diseases educating and monitoring services, Nafea in [107], [114] proposed the Hajj Health Control (HHC) system that collects data from smartphone and magic card, then combines cloud computing Amazon Web Services (AWS) and big data Amazon S3 storage services to provide services relevant to pilgrims' health and disease prevention as well as control during Hajj.…”
