The challenges of transporting three million Beijing Olympic athletes, media and spectators efficiently to more than 300 sporting events and 1,000 cultural activities will be eased by a technologically sophisticated underground traffic system from Stratus Technologies Inc. Stratus servers will host the traffic control, monitoring and management software for the underground transportation system linking Beijing's Olympic venues. The underground system is a circular 5.5-km (3.4-mile) roadway connecting surface roads and vast underground parking facilities with the Beijing Olympic Park where major Olympic sporting venues are located. A computerized tunnel intelligence man-agement system located in the mission-control monitoring center provides real-time information that enables accurate, reliable and rapid response to ever-changing conditions in the loop.
