3 Event Context - Olympics 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are the biggest logistical challenge a city can face. TfL had two objectives First, to support a great Games - helping athletes and officials reach events on time, and providing slick and friendly transport for spectators Second, to keep London moving - ensuring Londoners could get around their city, and helping businesses make the most of opportunities from the Games

4 Event Context - Olympics 2012 Detailed planning TfL was involved from the start - helping to design and deliver London s winning bid in 2005 Promise to deliver transport upgrades across London to provide the capacity needed for the Games Detailed planning was undertaken to deliver an effective transport service and excellent spectator transport experience TfL also designed the Olympic and Paralympic Route Networks to make sure athletes, officials and others essential to the running of the Games could travel around London smoothly

5 London 2012 saw massive crowds at venues across the city 7.4 million ticketed spectators at the Olympic Games, 6.25 million in London alone across 29 venues A sell-out Paralympic Games, with 2.7 million ticketed spectators across 15 venues As well as providing transport, TfL prepared roads, deployed marshals and erected barriers to create the field of play for world class sports venues One million attended Olympic Cycling Road Races 300,000 attended Olympic Marathons 220,000 attended Olympic Triathlons 200,000 attended Olympic Cycling Time Trials 50,000 attended Paralympic Marathons 30,000 attended Olympic Marathon Swims 30,000 attended Olympic Race Walks

11 Transport for London (TfL) Traffic Directorate Responsible for Smoothing traffic flow. Achieved by making sure that traffic operates quickly and efficiently, while maximising technology opportunities. Delivering the Mayor s Transport Strategy Managing the London Streets Traffic Control Centre Maintenance of London s traffic operations infrastructure, including 6,000 traffic signals Providing a traffic modelling centre of excellence Technology development Supporting development of Network Management Plans

12 London Streets Traffic Control Centre LSTCC Keep London Moving 24 hours a day by managing events, incidents and congestion. 580km of major roads (including bridges and tunnels). 6,000 traffic signals CCTV cameras. It is impractical to monitor all cameras manually

13 Image Recognition automatically detects congestion incidents and alerts the operator

31 Evaluation

32 Data Capture Timeframe Two weeks before the Olympics (13 July to 26 July 2012) During the Olympics (27 July to 12 August 2012) Two weeks after the Olympics (13 August to 26 August 2012) Extended period (27 August to 10 September 2012 )

33 Measured Data Scenario site before during after extended (3) CVIH174 2 (3) CVIH171 2 (3) (1) - 1 (1) 1 (1) (4) 4 (13) 3 (4) 2 (2) (3) (1) number of days with available data (number of registered potential alarms)

34 Research Approach Comparison of scenario before the Olympics with the scenario after the Olympics - Information's about the general effects of the new ITS solution Comparison of scenario before & after the Olympics with the scenario during the Olympics - Information's about the effects of the new ITS solution during large events

35 Before-Scenario Measured data at site

36 During-Scenario Measured data at site

37 After-Scenario Measured data at site

38 Whole Evaluation Period Measured data at site Problems of evaluation are strong daily fluctuations and the distance between detection and elicitation area More congestion in the aftermath of the available data than sent alarms No methodical dependencies can be deduced logically for this location

39 False Alerts Shadows Street Light Reflections Camera Movement

40 Results of the Questionnaires Evaluation of 3 answered questionnaires - just qualitative analysis possible Main Problems of London s daily traffic - road works, accidents, fluctuate traffic volume and - congestions, limited number of traffic operators - starting point for autonomous camera system

41 Results of the Questionnaires London s traffic during the Olympics - lighter and better traffic flow - striking shifting to the public transport system Expanding of the camera system - for general daily traffic and also for large events - ensured knowledge of incidents important for both cases

42 General Effects Improving traffic flow Maintaining an acceptable and known traffic flow Reducing the impact of unplanned incidents Increase efficiency of traffic operations Expanding of the camera system

43 Outlook Well-engineered detecting parameters Avoid disturbing factors Camera system detect congestions, when vehicles are not moving for a set period

44 Summary Exceptional preparation and planning has lead to a successful Olympic Games in London TfL s marketing campaign and Olympic road traffic strategies helped reduce the number of vehicles on the road. This ensured that the number of incidents in identified was much less than anticipated. Traffic control centre operators were automatically alerted to incidents on the ORN, using video analytics on some of 1450 cameras. Novel technology was successfully used for this demonstration where 3G SMART cameras were used in locations where the control centre had no visual capacity.
