Crowd Management Nijmegen - LED crowd flow management at events

Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, is for Daylight the territory of the Vierdaagsefeesten - one of the largest multi-day city festivals. The city centre, Valkhof and Waalkade turn into zones where crowd flows between stages, terraces and the start routes of the walking march are continuously re-analysed. LED displays direct walkers and visitors to the correct in- and outflow routes, with real-time adjustments in rain or heat protocols.

At which events did Daylight work in Nijmegen?

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).
