An information and cooperation portal for large public events in urban areas

In urban areas, large public events are quite common and lead to peak usage of the urban transport systems. Their increasing number and complexity require clear planning and communication processes that involve all relevant parties for traffic and security issues. Besides overall organisational issues, the adequate reaction in case of unexpected incidents has to be prepared for. An information and cooperation portal for these purposes was designed for the region of Cologne; this is being implemented and currently tested against clear user requirements.
