In order to alleviate traffic load during large-scale activities held in cities, the concepts of traffic planning is applied in this paper. To forecast traffic demand of large-scale activities, the traditional four-stage method is imposed. Traffic forecasting model is set up in simulation tool TransCAD, and then traffic loads are gained in road around large-scale activities. Based on the result of simulate, appropriate measures are taken and re-assignment is implemented. By comparing simulation results between before and after the implementation of traffic control measures, the impact of large-scale activities to the road network and effectiveness of control measures are verified in the paper.
