In light of the growing trend of various types of planned special events, it is necessary to study the traffic management during such events. By analyzing the characteristics of travel demand in these events, this paper divides traffic management procedures into three phases, namely the traffic management planning phase, the day-of-event management phase, and the post-event evaluation phase. In particular, based on the experiences of traffic management in Beijing Olympic Games, we present the main tasks in the traffic management planning phase and then discuss the detailed strategies of the day-of-event traffic management phase. The research results have meaningful implications for traffic control and management during similar planned special events in China.
