Transportation and Traffic Management for Tokyo 2020 Games
[2018/07/19]
We participated in the 141st City Planning Roundtable “Transportation and Traffic Management for Tokyo 2020 Games”. The lecture was given by Mr. Masayuki Kanda, who is also a part-time lecturer at our college.
I was interested in TDM (Transportation Demand Management) and TSM (Transportation System Management), because I had been studying MFD, a theory to understand urban traffic conditions on a macro scale, but I was disappointed that I could not hear what specific measures would be taken. It seems that the goal of road traffic management is to reduce traffic by 15% on weekdays. I am looking forward to seeing how it will be realized. (Hirabayashi)
