  1. Commonwealth Games Transport Planning Mardi Blanch

  2. Commonwealth Games Transport Planning • Importance of planning in the early stages • Complexities of Commonwealth Games transport planning • Key operational lessons for Games transport planning

  3. Early Planning • Venues/ transport malls get designed and built early • Timeframe needed to plan, design and construct Games related infrastructure • Identify permanent / legacy work • Allocation of SPACE • Design / layout • Minimise rework • Immoveable deadline

  4. Complexities • Governance • Functional areas • Phases of planning • Transport constituents • Transport functions • Security • Legislation

  5. Functional Areas Areas

  6. Phases of Planning

  7. Secure vehicle Load Zones Accredited person entry (venue specific) VENUE Vehicle checkpoint Secure Vehicles Mag & bag Spectators Staff Front Of House Back Of House

  8. Beijing 2008 – Tiananmen Square public domain area Beijing 2008 – common domain area Common Domain • shared area inside the secure perimeter of a multi-venue precinct Public Domain • all areas containing people engaged in the Games experience requiring some level of Games service outside of the Games Venues

  10. Other Transport Clients / Groups • Accessible • Sponsors • Taxis / hire car / limousine • Chartered coaches • Rate card • Operational vehicles • Logistics vehicles • Spectating athletes (same sport/ different sport) • ENG

  11. Understand the operations

  12. Transport Portfolios • Bus operations • Fleet operations • Venue transport operations • Arrivals and departures • Public Domain transport - spectator and staff transport, ‘outside fence’ and public domain areas

  13. Security • Police / contract security / ADF / volunteers • Threat levels • Clean or Dirty? • 4 colour bus classification system for buses • White • Purple • Green • Yellow • Venue Access and Parking Permit scheme

  14. Three Tiers of Security

  15. Examples of Transport Space Requirements • Vehicle security check in areas • Lane closures / Games lanes / traffic management / road closures • Load zones, manoeuvring • Transit malls / transport interchange • Fleet depots / holding areas / commissioning site • Park and ride sites • Sponsor coach parking / chartered coach parking • Fenced and secure bus layover areas • Logistics screening site • Pedestrian queuing / corralling / bridges / crowd management

  16. It’s all about space

  17. CGV

  18. Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct

  19. Operational Lessons for Early Planning • Know what spaces will be needed for the transport operation • Optimum size and location of space • Understand how the space operates • Access requirements • Security requirements • How to design the space • Permanent features / legacy • Traffic management

  20. Operational Lessons • Key learning – need to remove all conflicts! • Vehicle / vehicle conflicts • Vehicle / pedestrian conflicts • Pedestrian / pedestrian conflicts • Conflicts should be DESIGNED OUT at the early planning stage, when venues and transit malls are being designed. • Pedestrian crossings are an operational nightmare!

  21. Examples of how to Remove Conflicts • One way traffic and pedestrian flows • Left turn access to venues • Prohibit right turn movements • Grade separation – pedestrian bridges • Pedestrian / vehicle fences and barricades

  22. Remove all conflicts

  23. Operational Lessons • Pedestrian and crowd management is imperative to success of transport operations! • All transport constituents need to walk as part of their journey • Pedestrian management • Front of House • Back of House • Common Domain areas

  24. Pedestrian Management • Pedestrian modelling at the early stages to understand space requirements for • Crowd management / holding areas • Walkway widths • Location of pedestrian access points • Queuing space • Corralling areas and space requirements • Need and location of pedestrian bridges

  25. Commonwealth Games Transport Planning comes with a lot of complexities, and effective planning in the early stages can assist in making the transport operation a huge success. Thank you
