The Palace special event case study provides an analysis for a multiagency, public–private partnership focused on managing traffic for planned events of varying sizes. The traffic management plan includes traffic control strategies managed through the RCOC FAST-TRAC signal system, which is programmable and detects actual traffic counts (the original timing was based on recording traffic flow as officers manually directed traffic)

The effectiveness of the traffic management plan allows fewer officers to be used for managing traffic at special events and reduces the time required to load-in and load-out for each Palace event. Load-in and load-out are two performance measures that have been defined to measure the success of traffic control before and after events.

Analysis and Research Observations The Palace traffic management plan has been developed through input from the Palace of Auburn Hills, AHPD, and RCOC and has improved the efficiency, reliability, and safety of traffic management during special events hosted by the Palace. During arena events, such as games and concerts, thetraffic flow in and out of the Palace has improved considerably while limiting the resource needs of AHPD.
