Abstract

Mecca (Makka al-Mukarrama) is a city in Saudi Arabia. For Muslims, the pilgrimage to Mecca is part of one of the fundamentals of their faith, so-called pillars of Islam. Each year, nearly five millions of pilgrims go to the holy city, to perform the Hajj during the Muslim month of Dhu al-Hijjah. The existent of this big number of people in such a small enclosure make the occurrence of incidences happened so often. For this, in this paper we present an access and security control system, to prevent the suffering of these incidences. This is done thanks to the use of ICT, this system will perform image tracking and pilgrims monitoring, to help these pilgrims, and provide them all the needed attention in an effective and technological way.
