Crowd Management Leuven - LED crowd flow management at events

Leuven, university city in Flemish Brabant, is for Daylight the territory of Marktrock on the historic Grote Markt and adjacent squares. The combination of student city and free open-air festival demands tight crowd flow management between station, Oude Markt and the festival site. Our LED displays on scaffolding are modular, so the control room can steer the routes around possible bottlenecks such as the Bondgenotenlaan in real time.

At which events did Daylight work in Leuven?

• Marktrock Leuven

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:

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).
