The project included the determination of transportation policies during the Olympic Games along the Olympic Ring and the Basic Road Network (BRN) and in particular: proposals for Olympic lanes, toll policies, management of heavy vehicles, transfer stations and connections to bus services, identification of alternative routes in congested segments of the BRN, proposals for Olympic Lanes in the alternative routes, traffic management of the Olympic Ring’s Eastern Sector, new operation of the coastal Posidonos Ave.

Special studies referred to traffic management and identification of the necessary interventions for smooth traffic operation during the Olympic and Para-olympic Games, as well as the transitional period. Also case studies included the planning and management of the Controlled Access & Parking Zones (CAPZ), traffic management measures, accredited vehicle pre-checking points, public transport operation, taxi and motorcycle traffic plan, access and supply vehicles. Venues studied consisted of the Hellinikon Olympic Complex, Canoe/Kayak-Slalom, Ag. Kosmas Sailing Center, Nikea Gymnasium, Faliron installations, Piraeus Harbour Area etc.
