Crowd Management Werchter - LED crowd flow management at events

Werchter (municipality of Rotselaar) in Flemish Brabant is internationally known for Rock Werchter at the Festivalpark. During the festival period, the in- and outflow routes to the camping sites and parking areas swell to impressive crowd flows. Daylight prepares scenarios in advance for emergencies such as 12 Beaufort winds, power outages and modified outflow directions after the headline acts. The multidisciplinary command on site decides; we bring the message to the LED displays.

At which events did Daylight work in Werchter?

• Rock Werchter

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.
