SIMULATING PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATIONS FOR OLYMPIC PLANNING

In addition to providing smoothly moving transportation to move spectators, athletes, staff, media representatives to and from events, it is equally important to plan for pedestrian circulations for Olympic Games. Pedestrian simulation is a way to reliably predict how people would move in a given scheme. In order to be successful, it will be necessary to provide detailed quantitative information that: aids in planning effective infrastructure that is capable of coping with peak demands; limits infrastructure costs, and tests proposed schemes before investing; mitigates risks; quantifies differences of proposed schemes; tests and improves operational effectiveness; and aids communication across agencies.
