Information on the level of occupation of the beaches in real time
The capacity control system was deployed in a total of 8 beaches, restricting access to them through controlled accesses , in which bidirectional people counting sensors were installed , with high precision (greater than 97%) than in In real time they send the influx data to a central server , where the number of people in each controlled space and the occupancy level are calculated.
The influence of the tides is taken into account , a weight factor especially on the northern beaches. The information is shown in real time at each access to the beaches through information panels, LED type and traffic light; It can also be consulted through the internet.
Increases safety : automatic warning of approach or excess capacity.
"The influx to the beaches has been more orderly and we have avoided crowds. The capacity control system deployed in the 8 beaches, transmits tranquility and confidence to users, seeing the level of occupation in real time on information panels; they understand why at some point the beach should be closed and they have to wait in a queue".
