Transport maintenance for mass public events

Hosting a large public event (exhibitions, sports competitions, matches, and festivals) always requires comfort and safety for participants. For this purpose, a transport master plan, an evacuation plan for stadiums or other objects, and an operational model for transporting passengers by public transport are developed.

Based on transportation models, it is possible to optimize the location of natural and artificial obstacles (buildings or green spaces) in order to guarantee an optimal level of service and effective management of pedestrian and traffic flows, including recommendations for changes in the routes and intervals of public transport.

The main task in this kind of project is to optimize the organization of pedestrian flows, improve the efficiency of entrance groups, and exclude conflict zones between pedestrians and traffic.

As part of the project, SIMETRA engineers create a simulation model to evaluate the layout and design features of the facility or area. As a result of the analysis of different scenarios, our experts suggest an optimal variant to reduce waiting times at the entrance area.

Reducing waiting time

Based on the created multimodal transport macro model and matrices of movements of client groups, a dynamic redistribution of passenger traffic for each day of the event is performed. Considering the capacity of public transport routes, our specialists calculate a forecast of passenger traffic flow and develop proposals for the optimization of public transport routes and intervals on them.

Routes and intervals of public transport

As part of the development of the master plan on the developed transport model, the evacuation scenario is being simulated along with solutions for the organization of the evacuation of participants in case of emergencies. In the end, all evacuation schemes and scenarios are checked according to the required standards.

Confirmation of evacuation time

The simulation of emergencies allows to identify bottlenecks and reveal places of the high load of public transport. As a result, our engineers offer recommendations for increasing the capacity of rolling stock on routes passing through bottlenecks.
