KortInfo creates an overview

Grilled sausages is a simple enough idea, but firing up the gas grill for a large folk festival like this, with 100,000 participants, requires careful planning. The grill chef must have permission to use gas and the fire authorities must be informed. 

Creating an overview of everything from gas grills, escape routes and road closures to stands and electrical installations, the KortInfo digital map is for the third year in a row an indispensable tool for the organisers and participants at Bornholm’s Folkemødet. KortInfo ensures that everyone always has access to updated information about the site's facilities. 

Three maps combined into one 

KortInfo was developed by NIRAS and replaces the previous arrangement from before 2015, where emergency workers, electricians and organisers had to work with three different paper maps in their pockets. 

The Folkemødet organisers had their own map with stages, tents and toilets listed. A traffic map showed bus routes and road closures, and finally Bornholm's Regional Municipality had a map with listed houses, water pipes and other technical information. The maps were printed as pdfs. 

In addition to the difficulty of comparing information in three different maps, the setup also meant that, for example, the emergency personnel could never be sure the maps were mutually updated. 

KortInfo collects all relevant information on one and the same map, which can be continuously updated, so that everyone works out from the same information. 

It is practical when the emergency services carry out inspections in the tent area before the Folkemødet starts. 

Information can be targeted 

KortInfo collects more than 20 different layers of DWG and TAB files, and the layered structure allows you to target the content to different groups. For the Folkemødet, the overview of tents and toilets is relevant for all visitors, while the electricians' cable runs or the location of hotspot routers are reserved for the technical staff. 

KortInfo Touch allows the map to be displayed in a customised way on mobile phones and tablets. While emergency personnel can quickly check with KortInfo on their mobile whether the permission for gas at a stand site has been granted, the participants can use the map to find the nearest tent with grilled sausages.
