VenueMaster provides centralised count management and monitoring for a venue that has multiple entry and exit points and/or discrete areas such as stands, levels, circles, etc., where it is necessary to monitor total and individual occupancy levels.

Each entry point (and exit point, if necessary) is individually monitored by one of four counters within an NCT200 counting controller. Each counter can receive count inputs (either increment or decrement) from voltage free contacts in a turnstile or similar entry control system. The NCT200 stores the count values locally and makes them available to the VenueMaster software over a network connection.

VenueMaster maintains a database of counter identities, count values, alarm thresholds and other user settings. It processes the count information using virtual counters to calculate and store values such as the throughput of each bank of turnstiles, the occupancy levels of individual sections and the overall level of occupancy of the venue. These values can then be used to display important summary information on screen and for driving Variable Message Signs that are strategically placed around the venue to enable officials and visitors to be kept aware of the current situation.

In addition, the stadium administrator, safety officer and other key officials have access to a wealth of useful information including real-time occupancy data, early indications of potential problems and a continuous count log to facilitate the statical analysis of visitor and spectator arrival patterns, attendance, section utilisation, etc.

Benefits

• Visitors and/or spectators entering all sections of the venue can be accurately counted at their time of entry, and their number controlled in order to ensure that overcrowding does not occur.
• Operates independently of any ticketing system in operation and can therefore cater for all categories of visitor.
• Continuous feedback of occupancy levels aids safe and efficient control of the flow of visitors to each section of the venue.
• Early indication of potential problems facilitates early intervention and supports contingency implementation.
