Sports and Special Events
A successful sports venue integrates effectively with local transport and supports the efficient flow of spectators within and around it. Safety, accessibility, positive visitor experience and profitability also play key roles.
The simulation needs of special (or ‘super’) events, such as the Olympic Games, are similar to those of single venues but on a much larger scale: incorporating several venues and transport interchanges in one or more locations.
Legion software contributed to the success of the Sydney and Athens Olympics and is currently being used for the planning of the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games.
Objective tests of how possible pedestrian circulations schemes would work in practice are invaluable aids to decision-making. Legion software enables these kinds of tests and is effective for:
Legion's work on the Düsseldorf Arena focused on integration with transport successfuly reducing congestion during egress. To read more about this project, please click Düsseldorf Arena.

- Designing new stadia
- Renovation projects
- Testing and ensuring that ingress and egress are achievable within required times
- Developing optimal operations-management resource plans
- Testing contingency plans in a low-cost and rapid manner
- Operations training
- Allocating the number of turnstiles per gate
- Integrating with transport
