Possibilities and duties of ITS for large events

In 2006, the FIFA World Soccer Championships was hosted by Germany. On that occasion new approaches on co-operative traffic management, new duties for ITS and new safety and transport strategies were developed and tested in and between the twelve hosting cities. Its success depended mainly on an actual and reliable information and guidance strategy as well as on a perfect operation of innovative ITS systems, on the way to the stadium and - maybe even more important - on the way back home. So traffic management with ITS played an important role in a suitable organization and operation of it. And the results would be good hints for other cites, regions or countries who will host similar events in the future.
