Parallel Traffic Management for the 2010 Asian Games

The 16th Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, China, in November 2010. With 42 sports scheduled, more than 100 thousand people directly involved, and a scale similar to Beijing's 2008 Olympic Games, it will be the largest Asian Games event. One of the major challenges facing the 2010 Asian Games is the transportation problem. Because the games will use 58 existing game facilities and 12 new sports stadiums, which are located across the Guangzhou metropolitan areas, safe and effective traffic control and transportation management will be essential to their success. Under such time and infrastructure constraints, Guangzhou has chosen parallel transportation management systems to enhance and improve its traffic safety and efficiency for a better 2010 Asian Games,
