Instant Deployment at Large Public Event
PUBLIC SAFETY. How the operators of a large public event have rapidly deployed Eyeson One View to ensure much greater public safety management at scale in a remote location.
The Event
The event took place for four days in a mountainous part of Austria. Known as the most challenging single-day motorsport event in the world, it presented unique event management and coordination challenges. With over 45,000 spectators and 1,500 riders tackling the grueling mountain course, ensuring safety, maintaining oversight, and coordinating multiple First Reponders Teams across vast, rugged terrain demanded an innovative solution.
Eyeson was called shortly before the event, presenting an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how Eyeson One View technology is used to deploy Virtual Situation Rooms within minutes, connecting drones, systems, event managers and responders
The Eyeson One View Solution
Leveraging the power of Eyeson One View, the organizers very quickly created a state-of-the-art virtual command center that addressed these challenges head-on. Here is how the team approached the solution to the challenges.
Operating the setup
Customizable Layouts for all VSRs
The central command center user interface was tailored to the specific needs of the event, with different layouts for emergency responders.
- Fast customization of layouts
The Eyeson Layout API allows complete, rapid customization, allowing you to update the layout between two frames. We used that to update remotely while the race was on to accommodate an additional drone.
- Fast instantiation of rooms
Since you already have a layout for an emergency, it is also very easy to create another VSR on the fly. A second step is to adapt to the situation in seconds, e.g., showing the rescue helicopter's landing zone or the access road's state.
Benefits
Apart from the system's ad hoc setup, the solution's rapid adoption and tangible outcomes stand out.
Instant adoption
From the moment we started, the adoption process has been instantaneous. The simple fact that you could send a link to a phone or scan a QR code from the web application, and no downloads or installation were necessary, sped up the process.
Real-time Synchronization
Teams across the area, even in distant corners, had simple access to the same up-to-the-second information, thanks to real-time synchronization of all data streams. This was crucial for coordinating rapid responses to incidents at the event location.
Centralized Transcoding
The centralized transcoding in the MCU+ ensured that the synchronization process was efficient, keeping the load and energy consumption low for primarily mobile and battery-operated devices.
Situation Awareness
Event staff achieved unprecedented situational awareness by accessing multiple information streams in a Virtual Situation Room, distributed via a single interactive and resilient Omnimedia stream over the Wireless/SAT network, ensuring all team members were well-informed before arriving on-site.
Improved Coordination
The unified command center streamlined communication between teams with a cloud-based solution. An on-premise version of the system with satellite connectivity was kept as an emergency backup. At each point, the involved responders and event managers quickly synced and resolved problems.
Dynamic team setups
Because Eyeson One View supports instant joining, teams can group dynamically and ad hoc. This was also a driver when creating parallel VSRs to focus on specific situations or parts of the race track.
