Abstract:

An effective transportation organization is one of key factors to successfully hold a large-scale public activity, and the ground public transportation organization is important. In this paper, micro-simulation software Vissim and Legion are used to simulate the ground public transportation organization of the Workers＇ Gymnasium in Beijing Olympic Games, finding that the audience arrival to the stop is too concentrated and that the traffic jam is very severe when buses pull in and out of the stop. Some proposals are suggested to solve these problems, such as suitably increasing the walk distance of audiences and extending the stop platform. Simulated results indicate the proposals effectively improve the efficiency of public transportation system and the service level for pedestrians.

Key words: large-scale public activity, transportation organization, ground public transportation, simulation
