Delivering top performing transport and logistics operations
Planning transport and logistics operations for major sport events is one of the most critical tasks for interested or host cities.
For interested cities, a series of key decisions need to be made at the time of the candidature process related to the prioritization of transport infrastructure projects in view of the event master plan, the venue access strategy, the structure of the critical road network and associated travel times and forecasted operational costs.
On the other hand, in host cities, stakeholders are called to develop operational plans for complex transport and logistics aspects at a level of precision never encountered before, to secure resources, to hire and train staff and to test operations. All these tasks take place under strict deadlines and require interagency coordination.
