Crowd Management Utrecht - LED crowd flow management at events

Utrecht is linked at Daylight with King's Day editions and the Grand Départ Tour de France 2015. The city centre around Domplein, Neude and Vredenburg turns on such days into a closed pedestrian zone with intensive in- and outflow from rail traffic and car parks. Our multidisciplinary scenarios link the routes to possible diversions around bottleneck bridges and stewards on the Oudegracht.

At which events did Daylight work in Utrecht?

• King's Day Utrecht
• Grand Départ Utrecht 2015

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.
