Event Mobility Planning

with MAIOR

Planning mobility for a big city event presents several challenges due to the increased demand for transport services and the need to manage large crowds efficiently.

Some of the main challenges when planning an event include

• Traffic Congestion
  The influx of visitors attending the event can lead to significant traffic congestion on city roads. This congestion can affect both private vehicles and public transport, causing delays and disruptions in the overall mobility network.
• Public Transport Capacity
  The existing public transport system may not have the capacity to handle the surge in ridership during the event. Additional buses, trains, or other forms of public transport may be required, necessitating careful planning and coordination.
• Communication and Information
  Clear and timely communication about transport options, routes, and any changes in schedules is critical for attendees to plan their travel effectively. This includes providing real-time updates through mobile apps or digital displays.
• Environmental Impact
  Large events can generate a significant carbon footprint due to increased transport activities. Planning for sustainable mobility options, such as electric buses or encouraging cycling and walking, can help reduce the environmental impact.
• Contingency Planning
  Unexpected situations, such as adverse weather conditions or unforeseen incidents, may disrupt mobility plans. Having contingency measures in place can help mitigate the impact of such disruptions.
• Logistical Challenges
  Coordinating with various transport providers, city authorities, and event organizers requires careful logistical planning. Timely communication and seamless coordination are necessary to ensure the smooth execution of mobility plans.
  Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among city authorities, event organizers, public transport agencies, and other stakeholders. Conducting comprehensive traffic and mobility assessments, incorporating smart transport solutions, and engaging in proactive communication with attendees can contribute to a successful and efficient mobility plan for a big city event.
