Safe arrival and departure at the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 – with the crowd management system from ASE at Lucerne Allmend/Messe station

Full stands, passionate fans and a country in football fever – the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 in Lucerne was a complete success! To ensure that the fans’ arrival and departure ran safely and smoothly, Zentralbahn relied on an innovative system from ASE: the crowd management system at the underground Allmend/Messe station.

Through precise measurements and the use of AI, the system recognizes potentially critical situations at an early stage and informs the responsible authorities in real time. In this way, corrective measures can be initiated proactively and the safety of passengers can be guaranteed.

The system monitors the flow and density of people on the basis of anonymized video data – naturally in full compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. The data obtained also makes a valuable contribution to the long-term planning and development of the station.

Michael Schürch, CEO of Zentralbahn, says:
“The crowd monitor has given us the security of having control over the utilization of the platfrom and access at all times. This allows us to optimally control and ensure customer guidance. A major advantage of this technology is that it uses existing infrastructure and no special hardware is required. This allowed us to put the system into operation quickly and cost-effectively – without complex or expensive installations.”

We would like to thank Zentralbahn for their trust, innovative strength and excellent cooperation. The meaningfulness of this project fills us with satisfaction.
