Sports events and large live performances attract millions of spectators worldwide every year. Ensuring an organised and efficient experience requires advanced technological solutions for access management in stadiums and arenas. These solutions must effectively regulate crowd flows, reduce waiting times, and provide maximum security – a crucial aspect for major international sporting events, such as the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup, where large stadiums and sports venues serve as key locations.
The contemporary challenges in the sector
Today, managing access to sports venues is no longer just about preventing queues or overcrowding. It requires the adoption of smart and integrated systems that address specific needs, including:
- Efficient management of entry and exit flows to prevent congestion and ensure a smooth spectator experience.
- Dedicated access points for different categories of spectators, such as VIPs, media representatives, individuals with reduced mobility, and staff.
- Automation and remote management by security personnel for continuous monitoring and control of installed technologies, supported by dedicated software platforms.
- Compliance with regulatory requirements regarding turnstile design and service specifications, which may vary by country and include factors such as passage width, height, and minimum/maximum throughput per hour.
- Integration with video surveillance systems and mobile applications to facilitate entry reservations and real-time credential verification.
- Advanced identification technologies that enable access authentication via barcodes, QR codes, smart cards, RFID-based contactless readers, or biometric systems such as facial recognition.
CAME solutions for stadium security
The integration of intelligent technologies allows for an increasingly advanced access control system, improving security and operational efficiency. This approach has already been applied in major international sports events, where reliability, scalability, and rapid execution are key factors.
With extensive expertise in access control and perimeter security, CAME offers a comprehensive range of solutions designed to ensure the most efficient control of pedestrian entrances for stadiums and large sports facilities. Thanks to the modularity of our products and their adaptability to complex requirements, we can develop highly tailored systems that meet the specific needs of pedestrian flow management and access control.
To address these challenges, CAME provides a wide range of dedicated solutions, ensuring seamless crowd management and enhanced security:
- Customisable solutions to meet the unique requirements of each venue.
- Integration with advanced control technologies for smooth and secure management.
- Technologies and products designed to comply with regulatory and design guidelines.
Full-height turnstiles
Engineered for maximum security, full-height turnstiles (three or four-section) prevent simultaneous passage and ensure precise control over spectator entry. They are ideal for the selection of perimeter entrances and restricted areas reserved for staff and security personnel. These can be combined with full-height swing gates, providing barrier-free access for service staff and individuals with reduced mobility.
Tripod turnstiles
CAME tripod turnstiles enable smooth and secure entry management, minimising waiting times while maintaining strict control over authorised access. Their bi-directional operation optimises both entry and exit flows. Additionally, in case of power failure, the automatic arm drop function ensures a clear passage for emergency exit.
Swing gate turnstiles
Designed for unobstructed access, these turnstiles facilitate barrier-free entry for people with reduced mobility. Easily integrated with other access control systems, they contribute to a safe and inclusive spectator experience.
Speed gates
Speed Gates are the ideal solution for VIP entrances, lounges, and hospitality areas. Their advanced technology enables fast and secure access while combining elegance with high performance. Perfect for next-generation stadiums, Speed Gates integrate seamlessly with electronic ticketing systems.
