Event safety should move beyond crowd control
Why move beyond crowd control?
All-round visibility means greater safety
‘Having the app meant that when we were standing, waiting for the peloton, we could keep a check on where it was, how far away it was.’
More safety
For riders and spectators, with no barriers
Coordination
Needed clearer view of all police vehicles’ position at all times
Responsibility
Wanted to deliver a successful, world-class event
Early warning
To avoid unexpected blockages when peloton passes
What makes event safety so difficult?
‘We can’t be everywhere, all the time.’
