The demand forecasts were also used to optimise the number of toilets, food and beverage points to give the specified performance for visitor experience. The security screening areas at London 2012 worked as planned with small queues and low wait times while maintaining a strict security regime. We tested this using spreadsheets, and later crowd simulations, to undertake scenario and sensitivity analysis to ensure the security screening areas could process the peak spectator flows while being as cost-effective as possible. The forecasts were used in determining the footprint required for security screening, and the number and configuration of “Mag and Bag” screening units needed. The forecasts were central to determining the size (and build cost) and design of the Olympic Park, and planning Games time transport. We were heavily involved in planning and delivering the London 2012 Games between 2006 and the last day of the Paralympic Games, playing a significant role in the planning and design of the venues and infrastructure, event day operations and transport.Īn important activity in planning for crowd movement was the development and management of the spectator demand forecasts for the Olympic Park – a task which Movement Strategies undertook on behalf of the Olympic Delivery Authority. The Rio 2016 Olympics has brought about a twinge of nostalgia for many of us at Movement Strategies. ![]()
