heal.abstract	The present study deals with the development of an integrated transportation scheme serving the needs of guests at an Olympic Village during the 2004 Athens Olympics. The Olympic Village was located at the port of Piraeus docks (within the Athens greater area), and was designed to accommodate 13,500 guests. This integrated scheme comprised vehicle and pedestrian traffic arrangements as well as bus and passenger car parking arrangements. Based on the various transport and security needs of the Olympic guests, the related transportation parameters were estimated, leading to the design of the infrastructure and operation provisions of the various transportation subsystems, including secured areas, and control entrance and exit gates. The final implementation of the proposed integrated scheme together with the special transportation management measures resulted in a high level of service offered to the Olympic guests during the Athens 2004 Olympics, a successful case to be used as an example in other similar cases. © 2009 ASCE.	en
