In the event of overcrowding, some entrances and exits of MRT stations around Marina Bay will be closed to regulate crowd flow. Trains may also skip affected stations such as Bayfront MRT Station to divert the crowd away.
MRT stations including City Hall, Raffles Place and Bayfront are expected to be very crowded. Members of the public are encouraged to use other nearby MRT stations such as Esplanade, Downtown and Marina Bay, the police said.
The police added that officers from the Special Operations Command, Protective Security Command, Public Transport Security Command, Police Coast Guard, Traffic Police, Emergency Response Teams and Aerial Response Team will also be deployed to enhance patrols during the countdown.
USE OF DRONES
In addition to the Crowd@MarinaBay map, the police will deploy drones during the countdown to assist in crowd control.
The drones, equipped with thermal and visual sensors, will allow the police to check crowd size, flow and density. Some will also have speakers attached to broadcast public safety measures to the crowd.
Three types of drones — weighing 1kg, 5kg and 7kg — will be used. Superintendent Sum Tuck Meng, the officer-in-charge of unmanned aerial vehicles in the police operations department, said that these will only be flown over water by specially trained officers.
