Beaches overcrowded at the weekend: New system should lead vacationers!

Neustadt in Holstein, Deutschland - The temperatures rise, the sun laughs and the Hamburg's beach love is unbroken. But if you want to go to the North and Baltic Sea this year, you could meet full beaches. According to t-online , the beaches are currently overcrowded-a fact that many holidaymakers are expensive to pay. In addition, the beautiful coastal towns are particularly in demand in bright weather.

To better master the rush, a digital visitor management system was introduced on the North Sea coast. This measure aims to make the holiday flows monitorable. On the "Die-Nordsee" platform, users can see in real time where it is empty or overcrowded. The traffic light character of this display provides information about where you should be better - green means little, avoid red better.

technological innovations on the North Sea

Lower Saxony is going on with a good example. A new system for counting guests and vehicles should help to avoid overcrowded beaches and parking spaces in the high season. As RND are used for laser-based sensors and vehicles. The data obtained in this way is processed online so that vacationers can pursue the utilization in real time. If certain utilization limits are reached, alternatives are displayed. The first places that benefit from this service are Butjadingen, Wangerland and Wilhelmshaven, while many other places are in planning.

The project started in May 2021 during Corona pandemic and costs around 1.6 million euros, with 80% of the costs funded by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs. Such digital visitor steering could change the summer vacation.

Similar developments are also shown on the Baltic Sea. Here a beach ticker provides information about the utilization of the bays. From Niendorf/Baltic Sea to Rettin there is information for numerous beaches that help vacationers avoid the crowded beach. The high season and the sunny weather pull many people to the coast - and most want to be sure to find a place on the water.
