Work out standing room capacity instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Capacity is the usable area, after deducting circulation routes, multiplied by the planned standing density in people per square metre. Densities above about four people per square metre remove individual control of movement, which is why licensed limits sit well below the geometric maximum.
Capacity
capacity = area x (1 - circulation share) x density

capacity = area x (1 - circulation share) x density. Capacity is the usable area, after deducting circulation routes, multiplied by the planned standing density in people per square metre.
Densities above about four people per square metre remove individual control of movement, which is why licensed limits sit well below the geometric maximum.
Enter usable standing area, planned density, share reserved for circulation. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
