Crowd Management Amsterdam - LED crowd flow management at events

Amsterdam hosts Sail Amsterdam every five years in the IJ harbour area. Daylight supports the city-wide crowd flow management between Central Station, the head of Java Island and the moorings of the Tall Ships. The LED displays guide visitors between quays, ferry connections and metro exits, and can be adjusted at any moment from the control room via text or pictograms.

At which events did Daylight work in Amsterdam?

• Sail Amsterdam

How does Daylight approach crowd management?

Drawing on 35 years of experience since 1991, we provide a complete multidisciplinary system for crowd management. The six core pillars:

LED displays on scaffolding

Mobile and fixed LED displays for real-time control. Flexible installation, including on slopes.

Daylight scenario software

Insert text and pictograms, visually verify, and broadcast within 1 minute.

Point-to-point network

Proprietary protocol - no Wi-Fi, not hackable (4 security levels). Independent of mobile providers.

12 Beaufort-resistant

Constructions survive extreme emergencies (3 tonnes of concrete + scaffolding base). Beyond NEN-EN 13782.

UPS2MOVE backup power

5 hours of green emergency power, no exhaust fumes, flood-resistant (4 m high in scaffolding).

Multidisciplinary control room

We advise; the policy makers in the control room decide. Daylight builds its command post on site.

Frequently asked questions

Does Daylight Crowdmanagement in Amsterdam cooperate with the city and emergency services?

Yes. The multidisciplinary scenarios are drafted in advance with the organiser, the city and the emergency services. We advise; the policy makers decide.

Placing mobile LED displays on the public road is handled via the city's event permit. We provide the technical files (wind resistance, power supply, certification); the organiser arranges the actual permit.
