Special events in cities lead to the surrounding road network being overloaded with traffic. The operations of traffic, particularly in cities and its transportation, are significantly impacted by these kinds of events. The usage of personal modes by the visitors aggravates the problem. The present paper tries to study and analyze the impact of congestion and parking issues prevalent in a major event location named Kanakakkunnu at Thiruvananthapuram city, Capital of the Indian State of Kerala. The data collection through Revealed Preference and Stated Preference survey was conducted during the flower show event held at Kanakakkunnu, which is one of the major events that attract visitors in large scale from across the State. To tackle this problem, a traffic management scheme was proposed that included the provision of bus as feeder services in the locality with park and ride options aimed to reduce the use of personal modes. Further logit models are developed to understand the willingness of mode shift to feeder services. Results showed that the suggested scheme is acceptable, and the traffic management plan can be implemented in the event premise to reduce the congestion. Besides, it was observed that the shift to feeder services reduces with increase in average monthly household income in case of two wheelers. However, the shift reduces with increase in age as well as monthly income in case of car users. The likelihood of shift decreases as travel time and distance increase. The results are useful for policy makers and stakeholders to introduce new such schemes aiming to reduce congestion during such events.
