Engineering News-Record
Cross-agency collaboration combined with technology tools helped manage transportation infrastructure usage during the recent World Cup soccer matches across U.S. cities.
The results may inform how transportation is handled for future events such as the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.
Engineering firms that traditionally help execute specific infrastructure projects played significant roles in helping agencies plan for the World Cup.
The tasks varied according to each city, ranging from scenario planning to signal timing modifications to developing apps.
Adds Lendak, “Scenarios tested a range of conditions, including alternative traffic management plans, kickoff times, attendance levels, transit service enhancements, travel demand management strategies, rideshare operations and incident-related closures.”
