Case Study – Festival Crowd Safety

Key features;

• Site design and layout
• Assessment of crowd dynamics and crowd flows
• Comprehensive aerial survey

The organisers of Bestival, one of the Europe’s leading music festivals, used MRL Eye to complete an aerial survey of the site to consider how improvements in the site design and layout could be made to improve visitors experience and safety. The MRL Eye was flown on a number of sorties to assess crowd dynamics, crowd flows, infrastructure placement and traffic movements in and out of the site. Due to the size of the unit, the MRL Eye was moved to operate from a number of locations across the site to maximise the coverage and ensure a comprehensive aerial survey was completed.
