Managing transport during the Olympic Games.

Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
The Olympic Games draw millions of visitors to a metropolitan area. The primary goal of transportation planning in the context of hosting the Games is for preparations to meet peak travel demands. This often involves enhancements to transport infrastructure and innovations in respect of the operational capacity to move people into and out of Olympic precincts. To achieve this new capacity, the application of best practices for Olympic transport, prior mega-event experience and test events are crucial elements in successfully handling peak demands. A frequently used proxy for the Olympic transport task is the number of tickets sold in comparison to the residential population. Figure 8.1 compares the population of multiple metropolitan areas at the time of the Olympic Games with the tickets sold for events. Taking an upper bound estimation of the number of people that had to be moved, Atlanta’s transit riders were to quadruple, Barcelona’s and Sydney’s were to triple, London’s and Athens’ were to double and Beijing’s were to increase by 30 per cent due to the Olympic Games.
